This cache has been placed in memory of a very good friend, Robert Bavington, who was tragically taken away from us in April 2016.
He was from the village of Stretton on Dunsmore and the cache is near his final resting place.
It has been put here to keep his memory alive - and refers to the phrase coined following his death #BeMoreBav

Here is a short history of the church. All Saints’ Church was built in 1835-7, replacing a Norman building which has fallen into disrepair. The architect was Thomas Rickman, a major figure in the Gothic revival movement in ecclesiastical architecture. It has a rare symmetrical design both outside and in so that whichever view one takes one side matches the other. It has remained much as the architect intended. The exterior walls were built using Attleborough stone from Nuneaton, while the interior walls were simply built of brick rendered with plaster. The twin pulpits, gallery wall and other features were made from pre cast concrete - a relatively new material at the time it was built. The large windows on the north and south, have recently been restored and flood the church with light. The church is situated on top of a hill and the 22m high tower is visible from afar. It was originally surmounted by four pinnacles, but these were blown down in a storm in 1903. The corner panels above the altar show pictures of angels, painted by Mr Norman, an ecclesiastical artist from Warwick. There are several memorial plaques attached, some of which came from the old church. There is also some medieval stained glass here, showing Christ on the road to Emmaus, rescued from the Norman church. A key feature of the church is the East window, installed in 1936. It was a gift from Capt. and Mrs Charles Stiff who lived at Wolston Grange. The artist was Donald Taunton of Edgbaston, Birmingham and the work was carried out by Hardman’s Studios, Birmingham. It features a centre panel of Christ ascending, surrounded by saints, principally St Augustine of Canterbury and St Osbourg of Coventry along with the opening line of the Te Deum, 'We praise thee O God, we acknowledge thee to be the Lord' All are welcome to this house of prayer.
