Geocache Description:

The grade I listed Norman church of St David of the 12th century is a typical Norman confection with a square tower, typified by the shape of its arches. Its Victorian extension to the North transept was built in the high neo-gothic revival period. Inside is a memorial bas-relief to the Biddulph family, lords of the manor. 


Large estates in the area include Bryngwyn Court and The Mynde both lying south of the village. The Mynde, also a grade I listed building, was an ancestral home of the Pye family. Walter Pye was Attorney General in the reign of Charles I. The house was acquired by the Duke of Chandos, who sold the estate to the Symons family in 1729. The house was restored by the Twiston-Davies family, who achieved national fame as racehorse trainers.

There is limited parking within the village so please park courteously and a waypoint is given for designated Church parking.

The given co-ordinates will lead you to a Grade 1 listed monument within the grounds of the Church. This stone cross has a plaque on it detailing the history of this unique labour of love and faith. Whilst taking a moment to admire this piece of local history take note of the final 6 digits on the plaque and substitute these for the letters ABCDEF.

Substitute these into the following formula to find the geocache that is within easy walking distance:

 N51 58. (A+B) (E+C) (E-A)      W002 45. (C+B) (D-E) (F-C)

Please bring your own writing implement.
