Geocache Description:

UPDATE - CONFIRMED STOLEN/MISSING - UPDATE Samuel Carr Skinner was the occupant of Throapham Manor at the turn of the 20th century. Skinner was Chairman of Skinner and Holford, Sheffield, who owned the Waleswood and Beighton collieries. In the 1920s he sold some of his land for the Cheltenham Mining Institute, and in the 1930s he sold some more for the Dinnington Senior Schools: the land now occupied by Lower School. He died on 20th February 1941, aged 65 years. "Skinners" is now used to refer to the area of woodland that is what's left of the manor's orchard. There are the remains of some of the outbuildings in the wood, including the remnants of the glass-house. There's apparently a pet cemetery around there too, but if there's anything of it to be seen, it must be well hidden. This is an ideal location for walking with local amenities nearby. You will have to bring your own pen and tweezers may be needed to get the log out of the container.
