The site for the church was given by Lord Methuen and the Hon. Paul Sandford Methuen in 1885 and the church was built in 1886. There seems to have been no Anglican place of worship in Beanacre before that although there had been a private chapel at the Manor House from c.1500. The church has a chancel, nave and a north porch while there is a gabled bell-cote at the west end of the nave. It is in the style of the 13th century, built of coursed rubble stone. A church room was later added to the south side. The 14th century font came from the Church of St. Michael in Melksham.
To find the cache, you will need to find the date on the stone at the above coordinates. You will find 6 numbers, so let them equal A,B,C,D,E,F, and put them into the following equation to find the cache.
