Geocache Description:

I have added this cache simply because of its proximity to the Welsh border, indeed to enter the churchyard through the main gates you walk from Wales into England! 


 

The public house opposite the church, that is now empty and in poor state of repair, was interesting in the fact that part of the premises was in England and part in Wales, the knock on to that, was that in the past, with 'dry' Sunday licensing laws in areas of Wales, the English bar could trade and the Welsh bar remained closed on Sundays! 

The church of St Agatha does, to me, appear rather strange due to its rather oversize clock faces. I do not know of its history, it just looks like it would be in better keeping if installed on a larger tower. I have visited the church several times and found its doors open during the daytime. Please, if you have the time, take a walk around the church, to view the exterior columns and the carved heads and faces that look down upon you.   In addition take a look inside to view the modern tapestry work.

So as not to intrude too much I have placed a simple cammo film pot, which is not to everyones taste I understand, but is adequate to register a find when the church not the cache should be the centre of attention. I hope you enjoy your visit here, please note that the cache is not placed within the church boundary or in/on its walls, it is placed within the public area adjacent to the road and footpaths
