This beautiful Grade I listed Church, which dates back to 1210, is on a site that has been used for Christian worship since the 9th century. The site is that of an Iron age hill fort. The Church has a Medieval Naive, Georgian Tower and features Victorian additions. The peal of 8 bells dates from 1678 and are used by BBC Radio 4 for the Archers.
The cache can be found at N52 16.ABC w002 04.DEF
