Geocache Description:

Navigation:

The coordinates above are for the roadside parking outside the church. If finding as part of the Dilhorne series THEN from #2 follow the path aiming for the graveyard - OR - if finding as a freestanding cache then enter through the church gate.

This is an easy cache to find with an easy puzzle and the cache, a short walk outside the church grounds, is at N52 59.ABC W2 02.DEF but you will need to find the tomb of the Baronets of Dilhorne first. 

General Information:

The parish church, All Saints, dates back to the Norman Conquest of England. A feature of the church is its octagonal tower, one of only a few such church towers in the country. All Saints Parish Church is one of the oldest inStaffordshire and services are every Sunday. The old parish of Dilhorne has changed a great deal over the last hundred years as outlying areas have merged into other parishes or became newer parishes. Dilhorne parish itself is now linked with nearby Caverswall as the united benefice of Caverswall and Dilhorne. There is also a Methodist chapel in the Godley Brook area of the village.
