Given the current issues we are facing and how reports suggest that Covid-19 can remain viable and infection of some surfaces for days after contamination can I suggest that people remember to sanitise their hands before and after finding the container and signing the log book. The main priority here is that we should always stay safe.
The church dates back to the 13th century when the Gifford Family gave the small simple church of Rodden to the Boynton Church as a chapel of ease. After the dissolution Rodden became a barn until it was refurbished and reconsecrated in 1640 by order of Archbishop Laud. In 1832 it was enlarged and the current tower was added.
Rodden has always been a special place for those who enjoy its peace and tranquility. The church is situated at the side of Rodden Brook and the ducks which inhabit this stretch of river will be more than happy if you bring a slice of bread for them. Getting to the church is half the fun, being as how you need to pass through a farm yard to get there, It is certainly well worth the journey.
There is parking in the local farm yard, where the farmer kindly allows people to park. If you don't fancy that and you wish to convert this into a cache and dash, then there is a small parking space just big enough for at most two cars close to the cache.
For walkers, the church finds itself at the junction of a number of footpaths and bridleways leading to Frome, Rodden Down, Easthill and the wonderfully named Friggle Street.
Note: This cache has been placed with the kind permission of the Rodden & Beckington PCC.
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.
