Here note how many stone arches there are including infilled ones = S and how many old iron hinge pivots remain around the edge of the large window = T (T+S should equal 10!)
Wellingtons will be needed in winter or after prolonged rain as when placing it was quite muddy.

St Hugh's Church The niche figurine Waterfall on route

The may require wading Attribute is only if the river was extremely high and very unlikely.

For those not in the know The Church Mirco Series is intended to be as big a cache size as you can muster, Steve (sadexploration) explains.
Click here page 4.
The series is called ‘Church Micro’ I encourage cachers to hide as large a cache as it's possible to. It’s just that Church 2.5 Lt clip box’ didn’t quite roll off the tongue as well.

So on to the church description.

The first Roman Catholic Church in Radstock was a temporary building on the Frome Road, opened in 1913. After the First World War, the stone building which had housed Purnell’s Printing Works, on Wells Hill, was acquired. St Hugh’s Parish, covers the outlying districts of Clandown, Writhlington, Charlton and Kilmersdon. The Church is dedicated to St Hugh who was a member of the first Carthusian monastery at Witham, about 10 miles away. St Hugh later became Bishop of Lincoln.


One of the waterfalls on your way to the cache

The Catholic Church in Midsomer Norton was originally a barn, built by Augustinian monks around 1400. It was purchased, in a derelict condition, by Downside Abbey in 1910. So it returned to monastic ownership after 500 years or so, and was converted for use as a church in 1913. The parish, surprisingly, includes another converted barn, St Hugh's Church, in Radstock. The area of the parish was formerly dominated by mining; and the Mendip Hills now are a very popular region of great natural beauty. The parish is part of the Catholic Diocese of Clifton, and is under the care of the Benedictine monks at Downside. We warmly welcome all visitors, in Christ our Lord.
