Geocache Description:

A small cache located next to the church of St Nicholas, Bratton Seymour. Park at the top of Church Walk, just before the church. Please leave room for vehicles to pass. The cache is not located within the boundaries of the church.

This is a resurrected church micro, the original was placed by Hitchabike in 2009 and archived 2015.

The Church of St Nicholas dates back to Norman times. The name Bratton means 'farmstead by a brook' with the suffix 'St Maur' indicating manorial ownership by the family of that name. A Norman font and the Norman south doorway are unique features of this simple two cell church of nave, chancel and tower. The low perpendicular tower was probably built in two stages - originally in the 13th or 14th centuries and completed or remodelled in the 15th century. A south porch and vestry have been added later. Look out for the 17th century chest tomb and 14th century chancel windows. The tower holds three bells; a treble dated 1450 (London foundry), a second recast in 1824 and a tenor dated 1390 from a foundry in Bristol. The church is part of the the Camelot Group of Parishes in the Diocese of Bath and Wells.
