Geocache Description:


Stanstead St Margarets Church of St Andrews is located along Cappell Lane. It is part of the benefice of Great Amwell, St Margarets and Stanstead Abbotts. All of the four churches in the benefice are Grade II listed.

 

The Church of St John the Baptist is a pleasant church located above the New River constructed by Hugh Myddleton and the pool designed by Milne. It dates from around the twelfth century and was probably visited by the poet John Scott. The church is linked to the nearby primary school. The graveyard contains a wooden stock and at time of placing the cache, was covered in Snowdrops.

The church is open on Sundays seasonally for teas.

To calculate the co-ordinates for the cache, you are looking for a tomb dedicated to Mary Ware on the right hand side of the path, close to the main gate, that leads to the church door.
