Geocache Description:

Hulcott is one of my favourite villages in Buckinghamshire. Consisting of just a few houses and farms nestled around a small village green Hulcott is both peaceful and idyllic. What better way to bring cachers here than via a church micro!


Hulcott All Saints

Hulcott is a small village to the north of Aylesbury in central Buckinghamshire. First recorded in 1200 as Hoccote there has been a church on the site of All Saints since at least the 14th century. Constructed of local limestone surrounding a timber frame, several fossils can be found in the outside walls of the church including some excellent examples of Portland Screws. Originally in a parish in its own right the church now forms part of the wider parish of Bierton with Broughton and Hulcott.

Interesting fact: originally the village name was pronounced Huckot with the emphasis on the first syllable. However as the population has changed over the years from a mainly illiterate populace to a mainly literate one the pronunciation has changed in line with the spelling of the village name.

The cache is not at the published coordinates.

To locate the cache solve the puzzle in the link at the top of the page, then simply go to

N51 50.ABC W000 45.D(A+1)C.

There is quite deep water directly behind the churchyard, so please take care of small children and animals.
