Geocache Description:

This cache is located right outside the boundary walls of the 12th century Holy Innocents church, located at the entry to the village of Adisham which has existed since 623AD and is mentioned in the Domesday book as Edesham.

Log replaced 14/05/16 as the old log was wet.

The cache is located adjacent to the Holy Innocents church at the entry to Adisham village.  Look for the large tree situated right outside the church walls! 

Adisham (formerly Adesham) is a village and civil parish[2] in the English county of Kent. The village, six miles south-east of Canterbury, and located on the B2046 road between Wingham and Barham, is known as Edesham in the Domesday Book.
The village church is dedicated to Holy Innocents.  The church is rather unusual in Kent because of it's crossing tower with the pinnacle roof and cruciform design. One thing that probably explains the size of the church is that the monks of Christ Church in Canterbury once had a Priory here in Adisham. Adisham railway station opened on 22 July 1861. It is on the Chatham Main Line - Dover Branch.

BBC character The Doctor (Doctor Who) once resided in a house in Adisham.

Adisham was also the home of the agricultural pioneer John Reynolds, who introduced the Swedish turnip, or swede, into England.

The village also lies on one of the routes that formed part of the Pilgrims Way immortalised by Geoffrey Chaucer in his book The Canterbury Tales, and in 2010 was the subject of a villagers' protest when wealthy former banker to the Queen Timothy Steel tried to ban walkers from the route. After a public enquiry villagers were granted several rights of way through his property including the path of the former Pilgrims Way.
