Some church details, shamelessly grabbed from the web as info on this excellent church is surprisingly hard to find:
The large and impressive Church of St Peter and St Paul is the most ancient building in Syston, built in pink granite and white limestone with a proud west tower topped by a lozenge frieze, battlements and pinnacles. The church mostly dates from the 15th Century but there is a 13th Century sedilia in the chancel and a tomb recess in the south aisle of the early 14th Century.
The stone arcading inside the nave has striking Perpendicular Gothic panelling which is also seen on the tower arch and in the clerestory. The nave roof of timber is also 15th Century. The local architect Frederick Webster Ordish (1821-1885) extensively restored the church in 1871-72 and in 1881 he extended the nave by one bay and rebuilt the chancel.
This was my local church for the first 21 years of my life, growing up in Syston.
This can be done as a cache and dash with easy access for all. The cache contains only a log and pencil. You do NOT need to enter the church grounds to grab this cache.
Just to re-state the obvious...you MUST sign the logsheet to claim the find. Logs containing spoilers may be deleted.
