I Confess .. Its an Ammo Can Traditional Cache

This cache has been archived.

JollyJax: Went over today and spoke at length with the guy that lives beside the site .. he insisted that the old Ammo can was still around so we scoured the hedgerow together and around 40 meters up the road we found the box intact and the contents dry.

Sadly the original site has had the hedge laid this year and there isnt enough cover to warrant a hide here ... at least till the autumn.

Will archive now and maybe come up with something as the leaves grow back. Thanks to the few that enjoyed it and even to those that moved it along a little ... I suspect to try to keep it under cover at least.

Happy Caching

Geocache Description:

Unashamedly this is set to start folks off to the other local caches. Placed at the start of the Confessors Walk

A celebration of all things old and tradtiional about caching. An ammo can at the start of a good stroll by the river. Nothing complex nothing difficult but a Wheelchair wont get access here - sorry.

Islip is the birthplace of King Edward the Confessor - born in Islip in the year 1005. When he visited St Peter's Rome he vowed to built the Abbey of St Peter at Westminster and endowed it with the lands and buildings of the village of Islip where he had been born, this endowment also included Noke and other lands in the area..

The words of the King's charter are underneath a painting of the King Edward in the north aisle. The oldest part of the present church dates to the end of the 12th century; but the main part of the church was rebuilt in the 14th century and the tower was added in the 15th. The church was damaged during the Civil War during the Battle of Islip Bridge (28th February 1645). Other celebrated people who have had links with the village include Simon Islip, Archbishop of Canterbury from 1349-1366; Abbot John Islip, Abbot of Westminster in 1500; Dr Robert South, a notable benefactor who founded the local school in 1710 and William Buckland, Rector of Islip and Dean of Westminster 1845-1856
