found this one by chance... i had seen pictures of it but didnt actually know where it was, untill i was taking my girlfriend home (she lives in hosm) and i spotted the aerial mast and strange box on stilts thing i had seen in the pictures on top of 'church hill'

so the next i set off to investigate. following the signs for the church just before you get into holme takes you up a steep, small road with a sort of round about at the end and the gate of the church. parked up and set out on foot across a corn field where i could see the post some 150/200 meters away.

walking through the field.
