Church Micro 7261...Yelden - St Mary
This cache has been placed to bring you to the church of St Mary in Yelden.
It is a good example of a village church mainly in the Decorated style. Originally the Trailly family received it from the Monks at Thorney abbey early in the 12th Century and was confirmed to them by a charter of Pope Alexander III in 1162. Although Norman in origin its shows no indication of this in its construction. It consists of a Nave and Chancel dating back to the early 13th Century and had been considerably re-modelled since then, the most notable feature being the tower and broach spire.
The cache is OUTSIDE of the church grounds.
