Geocache Description:

St Peter & St. Paul Church - Dry Drayton

The cache is not at the stated co-ordinates


The church of Saints Peter and Paul is a building of stone in the Early Perpendicular style, consisting of chancel, nave of three bays, aisles, north porch and a western tower containing a clock and 5 bells.
The north aisle was added and the whole fabric restored in 1859, and the ancient tower in 1874, at a cost of £200.

The stained east window is a memorial to the Rev. Samuel Smith D.D. dean of Christ Church, Oxford, prebendary of Durham and formerly rector here 1831-41, and has in a lunette at the bottom a kneeling figure of the rector in surplice and hood.

The organ, erected in 1881, was rebuilt in 1928. Near the west end are two windows of the Decorated period, with transoms, and the south doorway is of the same date.
There are 200 sittings. The register of baptisms and burials dates from the year 1564; marriages, 1565.
