A cache placed for this beautiful church :o)
**N.B. This was previously a multi-cache, however due to continual muggling of my caches, I have given up trying to find a hiding spot for a Regular cache and have replaced with a Nano - for which I don't feel a multi-cache is suited**
This is a very large church dating almost entirely from the 14th Century. The nave with north and south aisles, chancel to the east and a western tower were proabably completed in the 1330s and the vestry, and north and south chapels, completed later. The north chapel of 1397 is now a priest's vestry. The south chapel of 1444 is now the Lady Chapel. A late 14th century porch protects a doorway which is thought to have been attached to a previous church due to its 12th century style. The battlemarked parapets are later embellishments.
In the mid or late 15th century, a new oak screen was built between the nave and the chancel, it was lowered in the 19th century and a cross and canopy added to its top. The church accommodated 1100 persons with the benefit of galleries in the aisles, tower and Lady Chapel up to 1849, when they were removed. It now seats 400.
