Part of the Church Micro series started by sadexploration in November 2007
The cache is not at the published coordinates, but instead you find a large blue sign.
The church does have parking nearby.
To find the cache you will need to find the date range on the 3rd line to determine the letters, and those letters are used in the formula for calculating the cache’s coordinates:
AB00 – 121C
The cache is located 5-10 minutes walk away at:
N50.(C-B)(A+B+C).0(A+C)C
E000.A9.94(A+B)
Congratulations to suz212 on FTF
Located just a short walk from the entrance to Pevensey castle, Pevensey’s parish church is appropriately dedicated to the patron saint of sailors.
The church remains, on the whole, an excellent example of Early English architecture, and its size reflects the importance of Pevensey at the time of its construction. The chancel was built first, followed by the nave and tower.
The Norman font, situated at the west end of the nave, is of Caen stone. The retractable canopy was carved by Mr Albert Vidler, of "The Gables", Pevensey, c. 1890. Two pillars, one each side of the front east end of the nave, contain rough hewn niches, cut into the stonework rather than created as part of the original design. Pre-reformation these would have contained religious images lit by candles held in sconces. The sconces have been removed but there are still some filled holes and one piece of remaining metal providing lasting evidence of their existence.
The tower was taken down to the 1st storey in the 19th century restorations and rebuilt with a further two storeys. A new shingled spire, higher than the original, was then built on top. The iron spiral staircase, in the north west corner of the tower lead to the bell chamber.
The cache in a small clip lock container, containing a log and few swap, there is room for small trackables. You will need to bring your own pen.
The location isn’t reachable using a wheelchair, and wellies may be required.
