Geocache Description:

This cache is set in the village of Brampton at St Mary Magdalene Parish Church. The church has an impressive history, some of which is detailed below.

The cancel is the oldest part of the present church, and was built in the fourteenth century. The crowned head above the little door on the south side probably represents Edward the First, the reigning monarch of the time. The head on the north side, opposite, is thought to be that of the master builder of the time.

The stained glass windows in the church are particularly fine examples of the art and are by the famous Edwardian glassmakers Kemp and Tower. The east window has a central theme of the Kings of David`s line, and the son of David, Himself. The lower lights on the north side show King Edward the Confessor who owned the Royal manor and hunted in the parish; and next to him St George. Those on the south side depict St Hugh, Bishop of Lincoln, in which Diocese Brampton was originally; and next to him St Ethelreda, foundress and first Abbess of Ely, in which Diocese Brampton is today. The window is in memory of the Eighth Earl of Sandwich whose face can be seen surmounting the boot of the figure at the top of the second light from the right.

The curtain behind the altar was originally part of the hangings in Westminster Abbey for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth in 1953. In the sanctuary are the three choir stalls whose original position was probably against the screen, facing eastwards. They are unusually early date, c.1350. It is rare to find woodwork earlier than this. They are misericords (or hinged seats) and the carvings are worth close examination as they depict village life and occupations.
