You are looking for a 25ml container which is placed in a camouflage hide. The container can be easily removed from the hiding place with out any force.
Please note, you do not need to search the flint stone wall, this is old and delicate - the cache is not there.
St Mary's is a flint church with a nave, chancel and round W tower. The tower is off-axis towards the N of the nave. It is tall and slender with a change of masonry halfway up and another just below the bell-openings, and its fenestration repays study.
Its low W window is an insertion of the 15th -16thc. in brick, and the only other window in the lowest masonry is a very narrow round-headed S lancet at the level of the eaves of the nave. The first masonry break comes halfway between the nave eaves and the apex of the nave roof, and there are small 12thc. lancets at this level facing S and W. Then near the top of the nave roof are six large round-headed openings, evenly spaced around the tower and all blocked with brick. These were doubtless the original bell-openings. Alternating with them are another six small 12thc. lancets, at the level of their arch heads. Then comes the second masonry break, a change from flint to brick. Finally there are four pointed bell-openings immediately below the battlemented parapet. Inside, the tower arch is extremely narrow and 12thc. Its offsetting to the N reflects a widening of the nave, so that while the N wall is in its original position, with a 12thc. doorway (now blocked), the S has been rebuilt much further S. Parts of the 12thc. S doorway were reused, but it is largely of the 14thc., under a 15thc. porch of knapped flint. The nave windows on N and S are all 14thc. (flowing) or 15thc. The chancel is of knapped flint with flowing tracery windows of c.1350. The chancel arch and piscina are also 14thc. The chancel was rebuilt in 1851. The N and S doorways are described below.
"If anybody would like to expand to this series please do, I would just ask that you could let Sadexploration know first so he can keep track of the Church numbers and names to avoid duplication."
