Micro container located near to St Peter's Church, Frampton Cotterell and the river Frome. This cache is not located in the churchyard.
St Peter’s Anglican Church built of pennant sandstone, has a 17th century tower with 19th century main buildings, also wrought iron gate with stone posts, reinstalled from the village pound.
St Peter's churchyard Within this secret garden of Frampton Cotterell you may relax on a seat to gaze over fields and woods as you ponder or pray.
In the south-east corner of the churchyard is an assortment of weather-worn tombstones amongst trimmed grass shaded by ornamental and mature trees that attract songbirds.
Inquisitive persons who wander amongst the graves get a sense of the past while reading references to hatters, quarrymen and yeomen, and discover a doctor, solicitor, auctioneer and a naval officer. Northwoods private asylum was significant in the 19th century so gets a mention.
In the north-east corner see memorials in Portland stone with regimental crests that mark graves of men who died in War for their Country.
Some gravestones list children who perished before antibiotics and are remembered by sorrowing parents.
