This cache is in a lovely village, you may find yourself waiting for wandering cattle to get out of the road, or even see the village cricket match being played on the green. I hope that you enjoy the church and the area. I can heartily recommend the village pub here.
If anybody would like to expand to the Church Micro 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
