There used to be a cache here called Clarksons Ferret or something. I DNF'd that back in the summer and it's since been archived.
Making room for a church micro!!
The container is small, square & camo taped. About the size of a 35mm pot.
- OS Grid Square TL 184644.
- The church of St. Leonard consists of a chancel, nave, north aisle, south aisle, tower at the north-west corner and a south porch. The walls are of pebble rubble, except for the tower and clearstory which are of red brick; all have stone dressings. The north aisle is of ashlar, and the roofs are of slate and lead.
- The church is not mentioned in the Domesday survey of 1086 but, in about 1160, a stone church was built here, of which the greater part of the chancel with the chancel arch remains, and the south doorway which has been reset in the wall of the south aisle. In the 13th century, the chancel was lengthened, the nave rebuilt with a south arcade and a south aisle. In about 1500, the north arcade and aisle were added, the south aisle largely rebuilt and the clearstory and porch added.
- Towards the end of the 16th century, the tower was built on the site of the western bay of the north aisle. The church was restored in 1859 when the south-west corner of the chancel, the clearstory, the east respond of the south arcade, the east window of the south aisle, the west window of the nave and the porch were rebuilt, and the whole of the roofs, which were mean and modern, were renewed.
