Geocache Description:


The Church:

St. Michael's Church in Doddiscombsleigh was constructed in the 15th Century and later heavily restored and rebuilt in the 1870s by Edward Ashworth of Exeter. However, there's evidence in the form of masonry in the outer north wall indicating a much earlier building once stood on the site, possibly dating back to before the year 1000. The list of rectors dates back to 1259 and a number of the stained-glass windows are oldest in situ such windows in Devon barring those in Exeter Cathedral. These contribute to the church being a Grade I listing building.

The cache:

To find this cache, you'll need to start at the headline coordinates which will take you to the memorial of Thomas Noel Buckingham, a lieutenant in the Ath Battalion of Devon Regiment. He is shown as "missing" in Gheluvelt, Flanders as of October BCth, 191D. 

In the north-eastern corner of the graveyard, you'll find the Commonwealth War Grave of Pioneer G. Jones whose service number was EEF64G.

The final location is a short walk away but there probably enough room at GZ for one car to park.
