We were able to place this cache inside the Church Grounds with kind permission from Revd Margaret McPhee.
This is a lovely Church with a beautiful part thatched roof dated 1703.
You are looking for a small Clippy shut tub with some swapple swag inside. Please feel free to leave Trackables too.
Very easy Cache perfect for kiddies.
Happy Caching 😊

A bit about the Church
All Saints, Horsford
The west tower of this church was built in the late 1440s. Many details of the tower and the church were replaced and restored during 1869 when the north aisle was built. The 13th century north nave door and chancel lancet windows are a rare survival from the earlier building. The screen, dating before 1503, has also been heavily restored. There is a Norman font and an interesting stained glass memorial to the Misses Day, two consumptive sisters who died overseas.
In summer 2004 the removal of cement render from the chancel revealed evidence for the complex history of the chancel and demonstrated how the Norman apse was replaced by a flat east wall, which is especially unusual due to the way the works of alteration retained the apse within the thickness of the new walls rather than replacing it altogether.
The west tower was begun in the late 1440s. Traceried sound-holes, bell-opening with suspicious reticulated tracery which can hardly be of the mid 15th century but could date from the 1869 restoration. Flushwork panelling on the battlements. Tower arch altered. North aisle of 1869, also with reticulated tracery. The remainder of the church so restored that it looks Victorian too. 19th century porch. The chancel lancet windows could be correct and the north nave door might well be 13th century. 13th century cusped piscina. Three bay arcade. Square Norman font of Purbeck marble, each side with four shallow blank arches. Screen with one-light divisions and pointed arches with tracery two tiers in depth. Rather restored. The original made before 1503, the date of a bequest for painting. Stained glass. Memorial to two consumptive sisters, the Misses Day, who died overseas in 1891 to 1893.
