Church Micro 1507...Datchworth Traditional Cache

As well as being a lovely church in a beautiful village setting, All Saints in Datchworth has an historic foundation. Parts of the present building date from the late 12th or early 13th century but there may have been an earlier Saxon church on or near the site. All Saints Church is in a prominent position almost in the middle of Datchworth parish situated roughly half way between Bragbury End to the north and Burnham Green to the south. The site was part of land granted to Westminster Abbey by the Saxon King Edgar in 969. This date suggests that the parish may have already existed and so the current church probably had a Saxon predecessor.

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

The cache is a 35mm film canister.
