The church Micro series is intended to bring Geocachers to various churches all over the UK (and beyond). Some of these churches provide the backdrop of our communities history.
Please take some time to either read the cache page or visit the church. St Margarets Langton , is part of the Woodhall Spa group of parishes serving 6 parishes and 6 villages.
St. Margaret's Church probably dates from the late 13th century, being generally Norman in style but more specifically Plantagenet. It is built on slightly raised ground, perhaps as a defensive measure against marauding neighbours. The church has been reduced in size - arches in the north wall, now filled in, suggest a north aisle and this is confirmed by the discovery of a foundation wall some 6ft north of the present wall. The Chancel has been shortened too - foundations have been discovered indicating that it used to extend a further 8ft eastwards. Just beyond the south west corner of the building is a square of turf which has been removed to reveal stone embedded in the ground. This is the corner stone of an 8ft square tower which stood there prior to being demolished in the 1700's.

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.
