A traditional cache placed outside of the Parish Church of St Michael and All Angels in Cadbury.
Cadbury church lies some 180 metres above sea level amongst rolling Devon hills. Above the church is an Iron Age settlement known as Cadbury Castle which is accessible via a nearby footpath.The name Cadbury derives from Cadabiria meaning 'the burgh of Cada'.
The present church was probably constructed in the 15th century using locally available stone. Like so many churches it was 'restored' between 1840 and 1857, walls were rebuilt, glass was replaced and a new roof was laid.
In one of the windows is a is a unique piece of 15th century glass, the work of a school of glass workers known as “The Cadbury Master”.
Many of the memorials are dedicated to members of the Fursdon family who own nearby Fursdon House. Walter de Fursdon settled here in 1259 and the family has continued in an unbroken line for over 750 years.
There are six bells in the tower but further work is needed before they are capable of ringing in situ. The oldest bell was cast in Exeter between 1430 and 1450.
On to the cache. You are looking for a small clip lock box that can be accessed from the road.
