This is one of a series of seven Church Micros in Lewes, leading to a Bonus. In order to complete the Bonus cache you will need to collect a clue at each of the locations. These are not in the cache itself but in the grounds of these fine places of worship.
South Malling - St Michael's Anglican - Church Lane
In the early Saxon period a church is said to have been erected at South Malling to St Michael the Archangel. Some historians believe it was founded by Caedwalla, King of the West Saxons (abdicated in 688) whilst others believe the foundation is ascribed to Theobald, Archbishop of Canterbury, acknowledged and confirmed by Stephen in 1143. The church was a collegiate one, and in the Domesday Book the canons of Malling are recorded to have held four hides in the manor. The medieval church, Saxon in origin was pulled down in 1550 and the funding for rebuilding in 1626-8 was provided by John Stansfield a Puritan.
The clue for this Church Micro is the number of letters of the family in the fenced off plot. This will give you M.
If any body would like to expand to this series please do, we would just ask that you could let sadexploration know first so he can keep track of the Church numbers and names to avoid duplication
