Church Micro 4076... Sutton Mallet 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This cache has been archived.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 35mm pot


The current church was built between 1827 and 1829 by Richard Carver of Taunton adjoining the old tower. Although the rebuilding was in a Georgian style remnants from the earlier church were reused including a mediaeval window which was incorporated into the small apse, and the 17th century altar rails were reused.

The Gothic tower includes two 17th century bells, one from 1607 by R. Purdue and another of 1657 by Robert Austen. When the church was rebuilt the tower was not adequately fixed to the rest of the church, meaning that, by 2008, 6 metres (20 ft) long diagonal stainless steel ties needed to be inserted to prevent further deterioration.

The church is now a redundant church in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. It was vested in the Trust on 1 November 1987.
