Church Micro 689...Cottered Traditional Geocache

Cottered church is 14th century with an 18th century spire which forms a local landmark. Opposite the main door is a large mural of St Christopher with a medieval backdrop dating from around 1500. The Reverend Anthony Trollope, grandfather of the novelist of the same name was a rector here. The nave has large perpendicular style windows and a fine oak roof. The font, erected in 1739 is made of Derbyshire marble with intriguing fossils. There is a Queen Ann coat of arms and a memorial tablet to surgeon Sir James Cantlie whose tomb is in the churchyard near the porch. In the Lady Chapel are grave slabs to former lords of the manor of Broadfield and Cottered.

This is a traditional cache and IS at the published coordinates.

The cache is a 30ml tube.
