Another in the Motorway Mayhem series, to break the monotony of your journey. This a nice simple cache.
Located 2 minutes from the M6/M55 junction, accessible whether going north, south or west! Near to St John Baptist Church, in the parish of Broughton. THIS CACHE IS NOT LOCATED IN THE CHURCH GROUNDS.
The exact date of the establishment of a church at Broughton is not known but is believed it to be about 1100 AD.
The earliest building was probably wooden but there seems to have been a stone church in the fourteenth century. This was rebuilt in 1533 – the date of the tower which is the oldest part now standing. The church was rebuilt again in 1826 and in 1904 the east wall was removed and the present chancel added. Other more recent additions have been the choir vestry on the south side in 1976 and a north porch in 1987.
