Church Micro 4147...Great Chishill Traditional Cache

Great Chishill church is a fine example of late Decorated and Perpendicular architecture built of local flint and imported stone. The 14th century chancel arch resting on demi figures of angels is narrower than the present nave and out of line caused by the later extension of the north arcade. To the left of the chancel is a broad squint. The south porch formally had an upper chamber and contains a holy water stoop with a curious carved shaft. The tower originally topped by a small spire contains a peal of five bells, four of which were made by William and Philip Wightman who produced the bells for St Paul's Cathedral. The bells were restored and a new ringing platform installed in 1999.

This is a traditional cache and IS at the published coordinates.

The cache is a 30ml tube.
