The Church of St Margarets dates from around the twelfth century and includes a chamber organ which has been converted into a barrel organ. Beside the windows are 52 carved heads of people and animals. The church is occasionally open for teas and during the village's flower festival.
If you have time to look around the churchyard there is a log taken from the vicarage garden that has a part of an aeroplane embedded into the wood. This aeroplane was a Canberra B2 Bomber which during a training flight lost control and crashed into the adjacent New River. The three man crew died.
The cache is situated along the New River at a point where you have a clear view across the man made waterway into the graveyard and of the church itself. The cache is a keysafe.
