Geocache Description:

An easy cache near the church of St. Nicolas in the expanding Fenland village of Manea, (pronounced May-knee). Manea boasts a Silver (brass) band, a railway station (on the Ely to March line) and the nearby RSPB Nature Reserve of Welches Dam on the Ouse Washes.



The current church of St.Nicolas was built in 1875 by James Ruddle of Peterborough to replace an existing church which dated back to 1791.. The building is constructed of coursed limestone. (rubblestone) and dressed limestone (ashlar).

There is a little three-bay nave, decorated in neo-Gothic style, with an aisle on the north side, facing the road. Above the aisle are three clerestory windows - a quatrefoil, trefoil and cinquefoil - and in the middle of it is a gabled doorway. The west front also has a door, surmounted by a triple lancet. The nave has a sanctus-bell turret at its east end, and beyond that is a small vestry and a chancel.

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.
