Geocache Description:


The church at Ulcombe is on a site that dates back to Norman times, and the current structure embraces part of the original.

In the churchyard are yews that are estimated variously from 1,000 to 3,000 years old.

Between 1213 and 1215, a college of priests was established at Ulcombe on the petition of Ralph St. Leger.

St. Leger Chapel in All Saints Church

The north chapel known as the St. Leger Chapel, was built in the Tudor period and contains a St. Leger memorial window. The brasses which are to be found in the chapel are very fine. One is of Rudolph St. Leger and his wife and is dated 1470; another is believed to be John St. Leger, who died in 1442.

Earlier this century the remains of hundreds of human bones were discovered at Ulcombe church and it is reported that a loud crash of thunder and a flash of lightning followed by heavy rain broke at the moment when the shovel hit the first bone.

The listed coords will take you to a grave stone of Mary Pile. To work out ABCD you will need the Year in which she died.
