The Crumbly Wall. Frieston/Caythorpe This is a walk from Frieston Heath lane around the back of Mountains if you so wish and back on to the A607. First to find will find a lovely Poppy pin badge. The Cache is not on the Crumbly Wall but on the foot path where it forks off in three directions. The name of the Cache is from my Daughter who suggested where to hide it. "The Crumbly Wall Dad"
There is Free parking just off Frieston Heath Lane by the little hump backed bridge so this can be done as a Cache and Dash along with the others in the area. Please be aware that this area is used by farm machinery so park to the edge of the Track. Frieston forms the southern end of the village of Caythorpe in the South Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, England. It is part of the civil parish of Caythorpe. Local government has been arranged in this way since the reorganisation of 1 April 1974, which resulted from the 1972 Local Government Act. Hitherto, the parish had formed part of the Parts of Kesteven. Kesteven was one of the three divisions (formally known as parts) of the traditional county of Lincolnshire. Since the 1888 Local Government Act Kesteven had been, in most respects, a county in itself. This seems to be an example of the migration of a village. Frieston is a name which belongs to the 5th century settlement of Britain by Anglo-Saxons, in this area mainly Angles, but in this case Frisians. The thorpe element of Caythorpe indicates a secondary settlement by Vikings, in this case probably Danes, at some time between 800 and 1050. The origin of the name Caythorpe is possibly derived from the Old Norse, Kati's (a Viking personal name) outlying farmstead/hamlet (ON.thorpe). Caythorpe's Saxon name was believed to be "Kari-torp" meaning the settlement of the 'happy man'. It is not unusual for Old English and Viking elements to be intermingled reflecting the interesting mixture of peoples settling in the area. The Domesday Book entry in 1086 refers to the village of "Catorp." By then it was a settlement held by a Norman lord, Robert de Vesci, had two churches, a hall and a park, and was the proud owner of half a mill, which it shared with 'Fristun'. A map of 1576 shows the village name as 'Cathorpe', and eventually, after a few more spelling changes, it became 'Caythorpe'.
