Church Micro 3093... Wedmore St Marys Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

higster: Have been out today bringing in a lot of our CM caches and various others which have been out for some years.
The area in which these caches are set is just too wide to maintain and most we adopted when spending time in Somerset.
Thanks to all who have visited in the past.

Geocache Description:


A magnetic nano

The Church of St Mary in Wedmore, Somerset, England is predominantly from the 15th century, although some 12th and 13th century work survives. It has been designated as a Grade I listed building.

The tower, which was built around 1400, with its set-back buttresses, includes triple two-light bell chamber windows; those to the centre are louvred, those to each side blank.

There is a wall painting of St Christopher, that dates from the late 15th c or possibly early 16th. This is unusual as few late paintings survived the ravages of the two Cromwell's Oliver and Thomas. The painting also features ships and a mermaid at the feet of the saint, odd additions redolent of the sea rather than a river, which are unique to this otherwise common subject of church painting.

“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.
There is also a Church Micro Stats page found via the Bookmark list”
