Holy Hideaways: Mike's Stash Traditional Cache

This is a fairly easy cache which should be quick and hopefully fun! It is part of a series of caches hidden near churches called Holy Hideaways which we have started with The Sons of Kedar in Canada and the UK. There are 3 caches in the series including this one so far.

1. Holy Hideaways: Wee Worship
2. This cache
3. Holy Hideaways: Life of Jesus (Multicache)

The cache is very easily accesible from St Michael's Close. It is situated outside the churchyard on the boundary of the property, so there is no need to go into the graveyard to look for it. The container is a magnetic nano hidden out of sight. There is no room for trade items or a pen, so please bring your own. Please put the cache back exactly where you found it. Enjoy!

Interesting facts:

• The bell tower dates to the 15th century, but most of the church is Victorian
• There has been a church on the site since Saxon times.
• Sir Francis Galton is buried outside the church. He is the cousin of Charles Darwin and is known for introducing fingerprints, barometric maps, eugenics and discovering how to make the perfect cup of tea.
• In the church is the tomb of Thomas Spencer (died 1630) who was an ancestor of the late Princess Diana of Wales.

Thanks to The Sons of Kedar for helping us to create this cache.
