Church Micro 15333...Knotting - St Margaret of Antioch
This Grade I listed church, described as "a quintessential vision of the English rural church", was declared "redundant" in March 2009. It is now looked after by a charity.
Serving as the chapel for the nearby, but now long-gone, manor, it has a fine Norman chancel arch, a double decker pulpit, a 13th century south transept and a tower added in the 17th century which has a clock. On the outside of the building is a sundial and plaques are built into the wall. The gates between the nave and chancel have spikes on top and were built to stop the chancel being used for betting and cock-fighting!
In the grounds stands a war memorial, erected on the base of a Medieval cross.
To find the cache, walk to the back of the building (the side away from the road) and count the number of windows that are able to be opened. This is "X". The cache is at N52 15.(X+5)(X+6)X W000 32.(X-1)X((2*X)-2) (checksum 33).
