Geocache Description:


Church Micro 703...Braughing - St Mary the Virgin

St Mary the Virgin church in Braughing consists of chancel, small north chapel now used as an organ chamber and vestry, nave, north aisle, south aisle, large south porch and west tower. The walls are of flint with stone dressings, the porch and tower are covered with cement and the north chapel is built of red brick. The walls of the nave, south porch and tower are embattled. The chancel belongs to the early part of the 13th century at about 1220. The nave with its aisles and porch and the west tower were rebuilt about 1416 and the north chapel was added early in the 17th century. In 1888 the church was thoroughly restored, the stonework of most of the windows having been renewed and in 1901 the chancel was repaired. The 15th century roof has moulded ribs with carved bosses and figures of angels at the feet of the intermediate trusses. The eastern bay is more richly treated and with painted decorations. The painting however has been renewed.

This is a traditional cache and IS at the published coordinates.

The cache is a 30ml tube.
