#BeMoreBav Traditional Cache

This cache is temporarily unavailable.

Professor Xavier: Hi

One of my roles as a reviewer is to monitor my region for caches that have been disabled for a long time, have had a reasonable number of DNFs or appear to require some maintenance. This is done through running a query on a database of all the caches in my region that looks for such things or by cachers submitting Needs Archiving logs as it appears maintenance may not be being carried out by the CO.

It would appear that this cache may benefit from some attention by the CO. May I ask that the owner checks the cache and sort out any problems with it or gives an indication of when it may be up and running again for people to find. If this cannot be done or if the CO no longer wishes to maintain the cache then the listing should be archived.

Of course if the CO has visited the cache recently then please post an Owner Maintenance log indicating that they have done so, enable the listing, and all should be fine.

In the future, if a listing is going to be disabled for a long time then posting periodic notes to the page (once per month or so) keeps people up to date with what is happening.

This isn't a requirement to fix the cache immediately but if it's unlikely to be done within 30 days could the CO post a note to the cache page giving an indication of when the maintenance will be done, or an indication of why it cannot be carried out.

By all means send a mail to me through my profile, quoting the cache name and GC code, but please also post a note to the cache page. Emails to me may be missed or go astray and it would be a shame to archive the listing due to missing correspondence.

Guidelines: "You are responsible for occasional visits to your cache to maintain proper working order, especially when someone reports a problem with the cache (missing, damaged, wet, etc.). You may temporarily disable your cache to let others know not to search for it until you have a chance to fix the problem. This feature is to allow you a reasonable amount of time - normally a few weeks - in which to check on your cache. If a cache is not being maintained, or has been temporarily disabled for an unreasonable length of time, we may archive the listing."

Sadly if there is no response to this log after 30 days I may have to archive the cache.

Please note that the guidelines say that if a cache is archived by a reviewer or Geocaching HQ staff for lack of maintenance then it will not be unarchived - Unarchiving a Geocache

Here is a short history of the church. All Saints’ Church was built in 1835-7, replacing a Norman building which has fallen into disrepair. The architect was Thomas Rickman, a major figure in the Gothic revival movement in ecclesiastical architecture. It has a rare symmetrical design both outside and in so that whichever view one takes one side matches the other. It has remained much as the architect intended. The exterior walls were built using Attleborough stone from Nuneaton, while the interior walls were simply built of brick rendered with plaster. The twin pulpits, gallery wall and other features were made from pre cast concrete - a relatively new material at the time it was built. The large windows on the north and south, have recently been restored and flood the church with light. The church is situated on top of a hill and the 22m high tower is visible from afar. It was originally surmounted by four pinnacles, but these were blown down in a storm in 1903. The corner panels above the altar show pictures of angels, painted by Mr Norman, an ecclesiastical artist from Warwick. There are several memorial plaques attached, some of which came from the old church. There is also some medieval stained glass here, showing Christ on the road to Emmaus, rescued from the Norman church. A key feature of the church is the East window, installed in 1936. It was a gift from Capt. and Mrs Charles Stiff who lived at Wolston Grange. The artist was Donald Taunton of Edgbaston, Birmingham and the work was carried out by Hardman’s Studios, Birmingham. It features a centre panel of Christ ascending, surrounded by saints, principally St Augustine of Canterbury and St Osbourg of Coventry along with the opening line of the Te Deum, 'We praise thee O God, we acknowledge thee to be the Lord' All are welcome to this house of prayer.
