Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the published co-ordinates, but the spire is and is worth taking a look.

For some strange reason there are no plaques or information boards noting this strange landmark.

There are records dating back to 1119 for the church of St Anthonlin’s and was originally named after Saint Anthony the Great. It was situated on the Roman trading route of Watling Street on Budge Row. It went through several rebuilds until succumbing to the Great Fire.

The design of the spire was credited to Wren, but not clear if he actually designed it or part of his team.

The church was to be torn down, but a printer Robert Harrild who resided on Round Hill bought the spire for £5 and had the spire moved to his garden in ABCD.

Though his garden had gone, the spire sits amongst the 1960’s housing.
