About the church
The Church of St Peter in Marksbury, Somerset, England dates from the 12th century, although most of the current fabric is from the 15th century and is a Grade II* listed building.
The nave has two 2-light windows under hood moulds flanking a blocked, moulded round-headed door under a plaque dated 1627. The buttressed, off-centre chancel, which is out of line with the nave, has a three-light east window from 1875 which was also when the chancel arch and chancel roof were replaced. The organ chamber was built in 1893. The altar is a Jacobean oak table by Francis Leyborne Popham who died in 1880. A second altar table, which was previously in the church at Stanton Prior, was placed in the tower. The font is Norman.
The tower
The three stage tower is supported by diagonal buttresses to the first stage, a canted stair turret in the return of tower and nave and a very small west door with a canted flat arch under a two-light, chamfered mullion window dating from 1634. The second stage has a cusped two-light window with heavy louvres to the north, a blocked single light to the east and two-light chamfered, vaguely pointed windows south and west. The third stage has one large, round headed window with raised architrave and louvres on each side, thin, embattled parapet dominated by four pyramidal pinnacles with vanes. The spikes above the tower angles were added in the 18th century. The four bells in the tower in 1782 were sent to the Bilbie family of Chew Stoke to be recast and additional metal added to make a set of six bells. The tenor bell was cracked in 1820 and recast in London. In the early 20th century a new roof was put on the tower and the bells rehung.
There are several monuments in the chancel including those to Counsell, 1671, and Wadden, 1682. In the nave is a monument to Boulter 1782, by Brewer of Box. Reverend William Counsell was the rector (1662–74). Francis Popham, of Littlecote House, died at Hunstrete House in 1779 and was buried in the chancel of the church. One of the stained glass windows is a memorial to a local resident who lost her life in Great Flood of 1968 when the River Chew flooded.
About Wherigo Reverse Caches: Wherigo Reverse Caches were inspired by the original Reverse Geocache Puzzle Box.
The cartridge for the Wherigo version was developed by-Waldmeister- and has been re-used in many difference caches. and has been re-used in many difference caches. The three six-digit numbers to activate the cartridge are usually given on the cache pages but we made this one so cachers have to visit the church. It is a Church Micro after all! 
To find the cache you will need to download this Wherigo cartridge to a compatible device.
This cartridge will tell you how far it is to the final location but not the direction - you will have to work that out for yourself.
So far so good.
In order to activate it you need to enter three 6-digit numbers and you will need to go to the headline coordinates to find what they are. Once you have entered these into the Wherigo proceed to the nearby footpath that runs from the main road, alongside the church to start the quest.

3) Find the beautiful poem to Hilary, expressed by John Darvill on January 1F 1968
