Geocache Description:

A simple offset multi-cache at the pretty church dedicated to Saint Nicholas in the village of Cublington, Buckinghamshire.


Cublington Church


The cache is not at the above coordinates.

The entire building of the parish church of St Nicholas, Cublington dates almost exclusively from the 15th century.  Although the reason for it is unknown at that time the entire village of Cublington was abandoned in its ancient location and moved to its current location where it sits today.  The ancient village ruin can still be found along the Ridings Way to the east of the modern village, and the ancient churchyard remains enclosed.

The ancient parish chest, the oldest in Buckinghamshire, was transferred from the old building to the new, as were many of the building materials that made up the old church construction.  A brass table in the chancel of the present church records the death of one John Dervyle who died in 1410 as ’the first rector of this church’, his predecessors being rectors of the old church down the hill.

The cache:

Find the grave of the Revd. Charles Rose B.D.  In addition to being Rector of this parish he was formerly Fellow and Tutor of an Oxford college.  Number of letters in the college's name = A.  He died February BC, 1DEF, aged GH years.

The cache can be located at:

N51 53.(B+E)DA W000 46.(D+B)(H+C)(F-G)
