Geocache Description:


You are looking for a camoed 35mm canister.

The Parish Church of Wadhurst, dedicated to St. Peter and St. Paul, has a tower of early Norman architecture. The north chapel and north and south aisles are 14th century and the vaulted porch with a room over it was built in the 15th century. The church's 130 foot spire was originally of beech and oak shingle, both woods once common in the forests of Sussex and Kent.

In 1968 the spire was re-shingled with new cedar shingles by steeplejacks who had completed similar work at Chichester and Salisbury cathedrals.

An interesting feature of the church is the fine collection of cast iron grave slabs, or ledgers, 32 of them commemorating various members of families of iron masters of the district. There are said to be more of these in Wadhurst church than in any other church in Sussex. The dates range from 1617-1799 a period when the iron industry was flourishing in Wadhurst and district.

Please contact sadexploration for a number if you would like to expland the church micro series.
