Claxton Cache Traditional Cache

Every year we walk these parts

With much ferstive cheer, felt in our hearts

We would like to share our Boxing Day tradition

And what better way than with a Geocache mission?

So enjoy the scenery, come sun, rain, or hail

We will now tell you an interesting tale.

There once was a man, the second son of a trader

1805 moved into Welton House, said "Essex see ya later"

In Kingston Upon Hull he established a bank

He toasted his success with the whiskey he drank

In 1918 he built a structure on a circular plinth

Underneath, a vault, not quite a labyrith!

A shallow domed roof, faced in light stone

1960 a robbery- a skull and old bone!

The vault is now completely sealed

The site of  'Welton Dale Burial field"

So who was this man, this tale is about?

and the place we walk by after eating our sprouts?

His name was Robert Raikes, husband to Anne

1765-1837, where it ended and began

Merry Christmas to my Dad, Paul!
