Geocache Description:


This cache is not the usual micro container so I'm hoping it will prove to be worthy!


The Holywell Lake in this village is in the garden opposite the Inn, the word 'Lake' having its old meaning - a stream or small river.
The village was called 'Holloway' until 1770

Holywell Lake is one of 51 ‘Thankful Villages’ in the United Kingdom. 
These villages do not possess war memorials as such, because all the young men returned home from the war.

A list of these names can be found in the parish church at the nearby hamlet of Thorne St Margaret.

 

Having arrived at the nearby pub for a meal with my parents, my uncle and my 
Grandad, to honour his 83rd birthday.
I popped out to 'get some air' and hide this cache! 
On my return I revealed my surprise, to the delight of my family and further delight for Grandad when the whole pub joined in with singing Happy Birthday.
