Geocache Description:

A quick cache and dash in the middle of Wolves. Stealth may be required at times, although when placed the area was deserted. You are looking for a magnetic nano.

St Peter's Collegiate Church is located on the highest and the oldest developed spot in Wolverhampton.

The church is now a grade 1 listed building having being raised from grade 2. It's thought by some that King Wulfere of Mercia was involved in its beginnings although the exact dates are unknown and it is possible it dates to 994.

Near to the church is the shaft of a 9th century Anglo Saxon cross, which is well worth looking at.
