Church Micro 3986... Stawell Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

higster: Have been out today bringing in a lot of our CM caches and various others which have been out for some years.
The area in which these caches are set is just too wide to maintain and most we adopted when spending time in Somerset.
Thanks to all who have visited in the past.

Geocache Description:

A magnetic tube


The church, dedicated to St. Francis from the 1960s but earlier with no recorded dedication, probably originated as a building with undifferentiated chancel and nave in the 13th century. The arcade of a north aisle, of c. 1300, embedded in the north nave wall, bears evidence of reassembly, possibly in face of actual or threatened collapse; the upper part of the 15th-century tower was rebuilt as a short gabled stage in 1610, and perhaps at the same time the southwest corner of the nave was carried slightly westward to buttress the tower. Some of the windows were renewed in the 14th century. A pulpit 'very antique and tumbling to pieces' and a reading desk of 1635 were still in place in the 1780s; a west gallery, evidently built later, was recommended for removal in 1848. A general restoration was undertaken in 1874 during which the seats, furnishings, and nave roof were introduced.
