Geocache Description:

Estaines Parva aka Little Easton


Accessible cache


Estaines Parva

Picture of Estaines Parva Church

Estaines Parva, otherwise known as Little Easton.

Where does one start? This church is an absolute treasure house, please don’t cache and dash but make a visit inside. The church guides are an object lesson in how these things should be done. Enter to find out about secret passageways, beautiful medieval wall paintings and instruments of punishment!

Look carefully at the inscription on the font and notice that it is a greek palindrome (translates as “Cleanse not only my head but my soul”).

The “American” chapel commemorates the 386th USAF Bombardment Group who were based here during WWII.

The cache

You’re looking for a 35mm film canister. The cache has a log book but no pen so please bring one with you.  

I’ve marked this one as accessible, if you’re in a wheelchair – you’ll need to be able to bend down to ground level to get the cache.

Church Micro Series

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.
