The church of The Holy Rood in Coombe Keynes was made redundant in the 1970's but the beautiful churchyard is still in use, this traditional cache is placed outside of the boundary but the lovely grounds are worth venturing into, to take in the wonderful views at the far end of the churchyard,
There is a board giving more information about the church just inside the porch and if the church is locked it gives you the details of the key holder if you would like to have a look around.
The church was rebuilt almost entirely in 1861, the only part remaining from the original building is the tower. One of the bells that originally hung in the tower is now located in the County Museum and dates from 1350-1360.
There is no parking directly outside the church so please park at the waypoint listed, there is a paved lane and a grass slope to get to the churchyard gates but these are accessible to wheelchair users and pushchairs with a bit of an uphill push!
You need to bring your own pen/pencil and tweezers may also be needed.
If anybody would like to expand to this 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. There is also a Church Micro Stats & Information page found via the Bookmark list
