Geocache Description:

The third in a series of nano caches placed in and around Doncaster.

 


This nano cache sits close to the site of Clarel Hall, a Medieval manor house, described in 'Yorkshire Magazine' of November 1817 as follows:

 

'Not far from the church resided that ancient, respectable, and powerful family of the Clarels, who were the founders of the House of Austin Friars in the vale below. Of this mansion nothing remains of its former grandeur; a heap of stones only mark the spot, and as all terrestrial things perish and decay, I [author unidentified] have given a sketch of what has survived the destroying hand of time. The premises now belong to E. Laughton, Esq. of Tickhill, a descendant of the Eastfields.' 

 

The location was shown on OS plans published in the early twentieth century:

 

 

A busy area with a high Muggle count - stealth required.  Please park sensibly and don't block any driveways.
