Geocache Description:

St Mary's church in Rattery is an ancient structure, with a tower containing 4 bells and crownd by a small spire.  

It also now has it's own church micro cache smiley


The present church preserves its early plan and may well have been built in the late Norman period. An early west tower, nave with north and south aisles, south porch, north and south transepts, chancel with narrower north and south chapels, sanctuary and vestry, make up the cruciform design. Three building periods can be traced. The font, nave, chancel and sanctuary are believed to date from the 12th century; the tower, narrow aisles and probably the transepts were added in about the 13th century, the chancel chapels are 15th century, and the spire too could have been built around this time. The external walls of the church were roughcast in 1823.
