Geocache Description:

Part of the Church Micro series. Thanks goes to Sadexploration for maintaining the records in the series and to Roger Rabbit for placing lots locally.

The village originated as a 7th-century settlement, and is mentioned as a parish in the 1086 Domesday Book. It is now part of the parish of Redmile.

 

The Church of St. Peter and St. Paul dates back at least as far as 1639, when mention was made of its bells (now replaced). The church was restored in 1840.

A number of footpaths lead to the village, one of them connecting it to Belvoir Castle.

The rural nature of the area makes it suitable for bird-watching. Some species that may be observed in the countryside surrounding the village are buzzards, quail, reed and sedge warblers.


 

 


THE CHURCH OF ST PETER AND ST PAUL



Please park at the suggested spot.  Find the cache and then venture on some 20 or 30 yards to enjoy this view of the Church and the surrounding Countryside.

If anybody would like to expand to this series please do, I would just ask that you could let Sadexploration know first so he can keep track of the Church numbers and names to avoid duplication
