•The church of St John the Baptist consists of a chancel, with north chapel and north vestry, nave, north aisle, south aisle, west tower and south porch. The walls are of coursed rubble with stone dressings, and the roofs are covered with slates and lead. The church is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, but nothing remains of this early church. A 12th century capital, turned upside down under the north-west respond of the nave, may represent a 12th century nave and aisle, and many of the stones of the south arcade indicate a 13th century south aisle. The whole church was probably built on a larger scale than before in the first decade of the 14th century. The rood-stairs were added in the 15th century. The church was restored in 1872, and the south porch rebuilt in 1876. The top of the spire was rebuilt in 1895 and the tower and spire were restored again in 1907. Except where otherwise stated, all the features are of circa 1300 - 1310. The cache is a 35mm pot. “If anybody would like to expand to this series please do, I would just ask that you could let Sadexploration know first so he can keep track of the Church numbers and names to avoid duplication. There is also a Church Micro Stats page found via the Bookmark list”
