All Saints - The walls are of course flint-rubble mixed with
pudding-stone, freestone and Roman brick, these are the materials
common to buildings of the early and mid 11th Century, the period
in which it’s believed the Chancel and Nave were built. Flint
rubble and pudding stone are found naturally in the surrounding
fields and Roman brick would have been salvaged from some nearby
ruin that the occupation forces left behind them. There are known
to be several Roman villas sites in the area. Medieval pottery has
been found in grave-digging.
The tower was added much later. Inside in the nave on the east
wall, north of the chancel-arch, masoned diaper in red and traces
of ornamental border to the arch, probably 12th or 13th century can
be seen.
The coordinates above are for the church location NOT the cache.
To find the cache you need to solve a few clues -
There is an inscription on the church Tower –
1. How many words in the first line of text? = F
2. A word in the second line carries over to the third line how
many letters does it have? = E
The following clues can be obtained from gravestones located at
the rear of the tower

William Wager died 8 June 19B4 aged B3
