PARKING: Available on the Church Splay, along Longmeadow Rd / Church Rd (limited) or there is a Car Park in Underhill. NOTE 28-05-2019: REPLACEMENT CONTAINER. You are now seeking a MICRO.Viol sized .
Lympstone Parish Church was dedicated in 1409, although there is evidence to suggest that a church has existed on this site since Norman, possibly Saxon times. Indeed the church was being re-built in 1329, but it is unclear as to why it wasn't dedicated, by Bishop Stafford, until some 80 years later.
Bishop Stafford was a busy man on his visit to East Devon in June 1409, as the day after dedicating Lympstone Church, he also dedicated Woodbury Parish Church, which shares some striking architechtural similarities to Lympstone.
The Chancel of the Church was lengthened by Burgess in 1830, then between 1864-67 the whole Church was re-built (with the exception of the Tower, North Arcade & Chancel Arch) by Edward Ashworth, and some 20 years later an organ chamber and Vestry was added by R.M. Fulford.
The Church celebrated it's 600 year anniversary in 2009.
The cache can be found at: N50*38.ABC W003*25.DEF
Where:
A = The number of blue spikes running along the top of the Easterly gate at the church entrance (not 7)
B = The number of rivets found on each of the four hinges on the doors which are on the Westerley side of the tower
C = A-B
D = Number of louvres in each of the four quadrants in the North window of the church tower (look upwards!)
E = C
F = No. of LETTERS in the 6th word of the 8th LINE of the sign at the main entrance (On front of your house?)
The final is a short walk from the Church, along a public footpath
This cache can be completed alongside my Bogtrotting Lympstone series as a circular walk
If anyone would like to expand this series please do, I would just ask that you could let Sadexploration know first so he can keep track of the Church numbers and names to avoid duplication.
There is also a Church Micro Stats page found via the bookmark
