Geocache Description:

A smallish cache placed close to a public footpath at St James Church - Upper Stowe Nine Churches. Parking is available in front of the church


The church was built in 1855 by P.C. Hardwick in the Early English style. It is of coursed dressed ironstone with a slate roof and consists of a nave, chancel, vestry and north-west porch.

The octagonal sandstone font on eight columns with a central pillar is set just inside the porch. It is decorated on each of the eight faces with ornate crosslets in relief, has a wooden cover with iron scroll-work and lifting ring. The whole is raised on a single step stone plinth with space behind for the officiating priest.

The bell cote is built as a vertical extension of the west gable of the church, it is itself gabled with an open pointed arch surmounted by a stone cross, and contains one bell which is chimed from inside the church, the rope hanging to the rear of the font.
