The village church of St. Bartholomew Church was built in cruciform style around 1200 and is in the transitional style between Norman architecture and early English Gothic. In the 14th century its chancel was rebuilt and given a decorated Gothic east window.
St. Bartholomew's parish is now part of a single Church of England benefice with St. Mary's parish, Wheatley and the benefice is part of a local ecumenical partnership with Wheatley's Roman Catholic, United Reformed and free churches. Unfortunately, the church is usually locked, except for services.
The container, a small clip-lock box is not in church grounds. Not so easy in spring and summer!
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.
