Geocache Description:

The Church of St Mary in Huxham is of a similar date to its neighbour in Stoke Canon albeit significantly smaller. The 14th Century church was rebuilt between 1864 and 1871 and is now Grade II* listed. Despite its fairly unremarkable exterior the inside of the church feels cosy and inviting and is managed by the Netherexe Mission Community who look after several small churches in the area.


There is nothing other than a church at the headline coordinates. You should be able to park nearby. The cache is a very short walk away and to discover its location you must visit the churchyard to acquire some information. You do not have to go inside the church itself but I recommend it if you have the option to do so.

The cache is located at N 50 46.ABC W 003 29.DEF where:

  • A= The number of yew trees in the churchyard
  • B= The number of windows on the north elevation + 2
  • C= The number of churches in the Netherexe Parishes - 1
  • D= The number of graves with stone crosses on them + the number of lanterns on the churchyard wall
  • E= The number of wooden stiles (vertical boards) on the door to the south entrance
  • F= The number of oak trees in the churchyard

The cache container is a small tube. Please make sure the lid is securely attached and that the container is returned to the exact same spot you found it.
