The church dedicated to St Margaret of Antioch in Pisidia, a popular Saint of the Middle Ages, was probably started in the 12th century, as the earliest surviving wall dates from this time. There may have been an earlier church on the site, but no trace now exists. The remoteness of the building from the present village is probably because most churches were built adjoining the Manor House or Hall, whether this was in the centre of the village or not.
The first building was simple and oblong in shape; possibly with a circular East wall. The extension to this wall and the building of a south aisle and westward extension of the Nave dates back to the early 15th Century. Other notable additions of the time were the Tower and the porches later in the same century. The exterior is mainly of the same period.
It is advisable to park by the cottages and cross the level crossing on foot. This is quite a busy railway line so care should be taken at all times.
The cache has a log book but no pen so please bring one with you.
If any body would like to expand to this series please do, could you please let sadexploration know first so he can keep track of the Church numbers and names to avoid duplication.
