A magnetic nano
•The church of St. Michael consists of a chancel, nave, north aisle, south aisle, west tower and south porch. the walls are of stone rubble with ashlar dressings, and the roofs are covered with lead. •The church is mentioned in the Domesday survey of 1086, but no part of this early church remains. Small parts of the nave walls may be of the 12th century but they have been so much cut into by later arcades that very little remains. Early in the 13th century, the south arcade was added and, during the first half of the same century, the west tower was built. The north aisle was built around 1300 and probably the chancel, with its arch, was built at the same time. the clearstory was added about 1330 and a little later, the spire was built. •In the 18th century, the chancel was rebuilt again, and a heavy oak screen was erected across the chancel arch. The aisles had new windows inserted at the same time, the parapets were reconstructed and the south porch was built. The church was restored in 1841 and 1906. The cache is a magnetic nano, can be done as a cache and dash. “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”
