Church Micro 3120 - St Mary's Brabourne Multi-Cache

A short multi-cache in the village of Brabourne, where parking is available. Please be careful of the lane if you have small children or dogs.

A Church has existed here since Saxon times - mention is made of one at 'Bradeburna' soon after the coming of Archbishop Lanfranc to Canterbury in about 1070.

The present St Mary's Church is of Norman design, and dates from the twelfth century.  

Most of the original Norman nave can be seen on the north side, and the Chancel is pure Norman. It is believed to have England's oldest complete Norman window, still in its original setting with light falling through.

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. There is also a Church Micro Stats page found via the Bookmark list
