Church Micro 7616...Dunton Traditional Cache

The church of St Mary Magdalene in Dunton is situated to the south east of the main crossroads in the centre of the village which is to the east of Biggleswade. Parking is available on the High Street and pedestrian access is available from both Church Street to the north and Chapel Street to the south. The church has a chancel of 37 feet by 18 feet, a nave of around 50 feet by 21 feet with two aisles, the north being about 11 feet wide and the south 14 feet. The west tower is about 15 feet square and 60 feet tall. The south aisle has two windows to the south and windows to the east and west. The east window of the south aisle is of four cinquefoiled lights with curvilinear tracery above with two soufflet quatrefoils and a dagger soufflet at the top under a pointed arch. The tracery in this window dominates the window as the lights themselves are short relative to the window height. The window holds a few fragments of old stained glass clearly collected from other windows. The upper portion of the porch was removed during C19 restorations leaving a flat roof to replace the earlier gable roof.

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

The cache is a 2ml tube.
