Coulston
| Logging Etiquette: Geocache hiders sometimes go through a great deal of planning to place their caches. As a result, they'd like to hear your feedback on whether you liked or disliked any aspect of the hide, the journey or location, or if you feel that some cache maintenance is required. Single word, acronym, or "copy and paste" logs may be easier when you have a lot of caches to log, but it doesn't tell the hider or other finders anything about your adventure (or lack thereof) in finding the cache. Please keep this in mind when entering your log. |
This cache is part of a series of caches which are placed at or near village halls and community centres. For details and statistics visit the Village Hall Series website Click here.

The village hall was opened in 1855, not as a village hall, but as a small school. In the late 19th Century, the school was closed and replaced the village hall we see today. The school closed and a horse and cart with a carriage with benches, transported children from Coulston and other surrounding villages to school in Market Lavington, 5miles up the road.
The village hall has a phone box outside which has been transformed into a Library for the locals to use, this is very common now, you can also find phone box librarys in nearby villages such as, Great Hinton, Standerwick and Rudge, to name a few.
