St Michael & All Angels, Hamstall Ridware
Note: The above co-ordinates are for parking and not the cache itself.
The church was founded in 1130—1150 but the majority of the present church was built of ashlar sandstone in the 14th and 15th centuries. A fuller history can be found here
Church Micro Series
I have enjoyed a number of caches in this series in other parts of the country and there are still relatively few in Staffordshire. Hopefully the caches that we place will encourage other Staffordshire-based CO's to contribute to the world's largest series. 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.

The Cache
The cache is not in the church grounds.
A flat topped tomb near the church tower shows that William Jaccard died on Feb AB CDEF and that his widow died on Dec GH JKLM.
The cache can be found at N 52 (G+1)E.BK(A+2) W 001 (M-1)H.MC(L-2)
