WW10 - St Mary's Church and Stag Lodge Traditional Cache

There's more to Wimbledon than just tennis.

The Wimbledon Wander is a series of 12 caches that takes you around some other sights in the area. The circuit starts near Wimbledon station, so leave your car at home and enjoy the walk. The whole loop is about 5 miles in length and will take you 3-4 hours to complete. The first 10 caches contain a clue to the location of the bonus cache. Good luck!

Dating back to 1086, the existing church was modified in 1843 by Sir George Gilbert Scott, architect of St Pancras. The churchyard has one of the highest concentrations of Listed monuments in Greater London, such as the mausoleum of Sir Joseph Bazalgette, Victorian engineer of the London sewage system.

The nearby Stag Lodge was the gatehouse to Earl Spencer's estate. The Stag was removed for safety during the Second World War but was subsequently lost. The replacement stag appeared in 1988. The Stag was the inspiration for the sculpture on the forecourt of Wimbledon station.

This cache has now moved to within the church grounds, and has been placed with the kind permission of the clergy and wardens of the church.

You are looking for a 1 litre clip lock box that is big enough to take smaller TBs. Don't forget to note down the value of the letter Z if you want to find the bonus cache.
