The above coordinates are for the remains of St Botolph's Church Ruxley. The Church is in the grounds of the Manor and a garden centre so putting the cache near the Church was not an option being on private land. The Church is well worth a visit during opening times.
St Botolph's Church, at the top of the big car park is a Medieval Church built during the 13th century. It was actually deconsecrated in 1557 by Cardinal Pole and for over 400 years it was used as a barn and storehouse for farm equipment. However, even today it retains some of its original features. In the 1960's some archaeological work discovered that the current church probably stands on the site of an even earlier timber building. Ruxley (or Rokesley) is mentioned in the Domesday and there may have been a Saxon church there for some time before the Conquest.
