Church Micro 935...Westhampnett Multi-cache

This cache has been archived.

natterjacktoad: The clues obviously need updating and I am cutting back on the number of caches I own. Archiving this will give someone the chance to create a new CM here - with a higher number! Please, not just a trad but something which will require finders to actually appreciate the church.
Will remove the cache container ASAP.

Geocache Description:

Another in the Church Micro series - this one at Westhampnett near Chichester

St. Peter's church is of Saxon origin. The large churchyard contains an unusually large number of elaborate headstones, including plain and celtic crosses, indicating a wealthy congregation in past centuries. St. Peter’s Church is located next to the former Roman road to London (called Stane Street), a stone church has existed on this site since about 710AD, not long after the arrival of St Wilfrid's mission to the lands of the South Saxons. Much of the fabric of the Chancel dates from this period being constructed from materials recycled from the ruins of the Roman city of Regnum. The south wall of the Chancel features a filled-in Saxon window and typical Saxon "herring-bone" stonework.
