Denne cache ligger ved Boddum Kirke i Sydthy pastorat. Den er speciel for CO, da jeg er konfirmeret og viet i kirken (1972 og 1987) og da begge mine forældre ligger begravet på kirkegården.
Boddum kirke er fra 1300 tallet og hørte tidligere i middelalderen under klosteret i Børglum sammen med den nærliggende gård - Boddum Bisgård (Bis - for Bispens gård) Den har tidligere haft tårn, men dette blev siden fjernet. I sognet lyder fortællingen, at bonden på Boddum Bisgård skulle bygge sine lader større og derfor nedrev kirketårnet for at bruge stenene i sin lade. Denne fortælling optræder ikke officielt. Officielt er det at kirken tilhørte Boddum Bisgård fra 1749 til 1912, hvorefter kirken blev selvejende.
Af interessante facts om kirken kan nævnes at et krucifiks fra ca. 1250 i dag kan ses på nationalmuseet. Det er udført i bronze og udsmykket med emalje. Det blev fundet i jorden af en bonde fra egnen i 1883 og overdraget til Nationalmuseet.
I 2005 blev kirkens altersølv stjålet og aldrig fundet igen. Nyt altersølv blev udført af Dorthe og Ebbe Hjorth, Gettrup, nogle af de få guldsmede i Danmark, der arbejder med forsølvning og forgyldning af altersæt.

This cache is located at Boddum Church in Sydthy pastorate. It is special to CO as I am confirmed and wed in the church (1972 and 1987) and as both my parents are buried in the cemetery.
Boddum church is from the 14th century and belonged earlier in the Middle Ages to the monastery in Børglum together with the nearby farm - Boddum Bisgård (Bis - for the bishops farm) It has previously had a tower, but this was later removed. In the local area, the story goes that the farmer at Boddum Bisgård had to build larger barns and therefore demolished the church tower to use the stones in his barn. This narrative does not appear officially. Officially, the church belonged to Boddum Bisgård from 1749 to 1912, after which the church became independent.
Of interesting facts about the church can be mentioned that a crucifix from approx. 1250 today can be seen at the National Museum. It is made of bronze and adorned with enamel. It was found in the ground by a farmer from the area in 1883 and handed over to the National Museum.
In 2005, the church's altar silver was stolen and never found again. New altar silver was made by Dorthe and Ebbe Hjorth, Gettrup, some of the few goldsmiths in Denmark who work with silver plating and gilding of altar sets.
