The pretty church is dedicated to St. Peter and although restored extensively in the 19th century there are still parts remaining from the 12th and 13th century and possibly earlier, and, as is often the way, is situated on the site of an older place of worship. In fact there is evidence that there was an ‘old’ place of worship on this site as far back as the year 735!
Currently the attractive whitewashed building consists of a tower at the west end, a nave, a vestry and two porches, and various parts of the church have been subject to updating and change across the years. The roof of the tower took my eye when I was there as it almost looks a lot like it is carved out of one solid piece of stone!
Beside the chancel arch there is a brass plaque that shows the levels of various floods and to this end a balcony with an attractive oak screen has been built at the back of the church so that church contents can be put up there at times of flood.

The Cache
The cache is situated just up the beautiful river Wye from the church so you will need to park up at the car park waypoint and go through the churchyard to the riverside footpath to get to it (all easy going terrain).
