Geocache Description:


Gilbert White, the Selborne naturalist, was curate at All Saints for many years before he took up his post as curate at Selborne, in the neighbouring parish. Although the present church building dates back to the 1300's, structural changes took place in the 19th century under the influence of Rev Thomas Massey, rector for 62 years. He was responsible for the construction of 'Masseys Folly', just across the road from the Church. Rev. Massey died in 1919, before the building was completed, he is buried near the Church door, his grave marked with a Celtic cross. Ancient wall paintings of an Apostle dating back to 1340 were discovered when layers of old lime wash began to flake off medieval plaster work. In 1988 experts were consulted to carry out an investigation, so that decisions could be made about conservation. Two paintings were discovered - both 'Dooms' or 'Last Judgements', with Christ as the central figure displaying the wounds of his crucifixion. The paintings were faded in places and difficult to make out, but some details are still clear. Unfortunately these paintings are in the loft space above the ceiling and are not accessible to visitors,

This is a simple offset multi.
