Kingston on Soar was mentioned in the doomsday book (1086) where it is called Chinestan. This translates as 'royal stone'.
The most important historical monument in the village is in the St Winifreds Church and this is the Babington Chantry. This was erected as a tomb canopy in 1537-38 to the memory of Sir Anthony Babington and his wife Katherine. It was recently restored and rededicated by the Bishop of Southwell.
This is a beautiful church and unfortunately a cache could not be placed with a church view as one is already very close, but still only a 200m walk away.
