Number 271 in the ‘Church Micro’ series
In 1995, the church received a new ring of six bells after a campaign by villagers begun in 1944 by the late Michael Nightingale of Cromarty who, aged 16, opened a savings account with ten shillings for the restoration of the church's bells. Fifty years later he completed the full peal of six bells - one of which was original and five were rescued from abandoned churches. The church also contains a 13th century chest, first discovered in the early 20th century. The church register dates back to 1700.
In January 2007, the interior of the church, exterior shots of the building and the churchyard and surroundings were used extensively as locations in the filming of an episode of EastEnders broadcast in the United Kingdom over the Easter 2007 holiday season. Mock gravestones together with a temporary Victorian-style street lamp were added to the churchyard by the production crew.
The cache is the usual 35mm film canister. Please ensure it is left securely fastened and well hidden. Thank you. PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN PENCIL
If you're feeling energetic you can take in this cache as part of "The Three Rs" series of eight caches, a 6 mile round walk which can also take in "Church Micro 270 - Frinsted" and "Red Phone Box #5".
If anybody would like to expand the Church Micro series please do, we would just ask that you could let Sadexploration know first so he can keep track of the Church numbers and names, to avoid duplication.
