St. Mary Magdalene church originates from the 11th century. From the rear, it overlooks fields towards the River Thame. It has a wide single aisle and a low, stout tower - which has a peal of 6 bells.
The church mission statement is to nurture a diverse and welcoming community, committed to following fearlessly wherever God is leading and make Disciples of Jesus Christ for the transformation of Shabbington and the world!
The church is open most days between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., and has services every Sunday at 10.30 a.m.
Parking is possible outside the church for a cache and dash. It is recommended however to to park in the village centre just 2 minutes walk away if visiting the church building.
You are looking for a small metal bison screw top container hanging next to a post not far from the gate. You would be wise to bring something to help prise the logsheet out.
Geocaching Etiquette. geocaching.com states under 'Help Center' in Paragraph 1.7: 'We like to keep things fun for everyone, so we have a few rules we encourage everyone to follow. Sign both the logbook and log your find online to get your smiley. Geocache owners love reading about your experience'. There are more rules, but this is the first one. This cache owner requests that if on the rare occasion geocachers are unable to sign, an explanation is given in their log. A photo of the cache, if possible should then be sent through the messaging system.
