Geocache Description:

You are looking for a screw-top micro cache (about the size of an AA battery). The cache is not inside the church grounds.

St.Nicholas Church, Marston Trussell was originally built in the 13th century in sandstone. The site is believed to date back to Roman times. The tower, 71 feet high, was built about 1525 and has five bells. The porch is made from oak, possibly part of a Danish Ship. Part of the nearby castle was also used, only the moat and mound can still be seen. There have been 35 resident priests since the church was built.

At N 52° 28.033 W 000° 58.863 there is an information board about the Battle of Naseby.
At the Battle of Naseby King Charles' Cavaliers made their last stand against Cromwell's men and were defeated. The men who broke away from the battle retreated towards Leicester but many were cornered at 'Pudding Poke, Marston', slaughtered and buried near the church yard.

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.
