Church Micro 2419...West Wratting Traditional Cache

The original Saint Andrew’s Church at West Wratting building dates c1310 when a large chancel, nave and two stage tower were erected. A belfry and clerestory windows were added during 15th century. In 1737 Italian craftsmen remodelled the nave in a Venetian style installing an elegant marble font, singers gallery, new seating and a three decker pulpit. Restoration in 1897 returned windows to their original shape and the gallery, three decker pulpit and font were removed. A fourteenth century arch separates chancel and nave where prior to reformation a magnificent rood screen, outside staircase and loft once stood. In many churches local minstrels used the loft for playing during church services.

This is a traditional cache and IS at the published coordinates.

The cache is a 30ml tube.
