Another in the Church Micro series : 121 St Lawrence Church, Mereworth (pronounced merryworth)
St Lawrence Church, Mereworth
St Lawrence’s Church was built for the 7th Earl of Westmorland in 1744-46, probably to a design by Roger Morris, previously an assistant to Colen Campbell who had designed Mereworth Castle for Lord Westmorland twenty years before. It replaced a church, presumably medieval, next to the castle.
St Lawrence’s is unique among country parish churches, with one of the most remarkable neo-classical interiors in Europe, designed like a Roman basilica. All its surfaces are painted with trompe l’oeil classical designs and organ pipes on the west wall. The ornate tower and spire have close similarities to several significant town churches, notably James Gibbs’s baroque St Martin-in-the-Fields.

From there go to to above co-ords where you find the answer to the clue
Date above HOOK = ABCD
Date above KEMP = EFGH
Date above LARGE = JKLM
Date above REYNOLDS = NPRS
(note: some have been confused by this as there may be more than one of the names listed above - however if you look at the four names you will see a distinct similarity between them and the dates - it does say 'Date Above' - be literal)
With this you can now work out the co-ords for the cache which can be found at
N HE G(S-N). (B-H)(K-J-L)(P-S)
E (C-A)(G-E)(R-N) (J+L)(D-S).(F-H)(M+N)(D-E-G)
*** Please note : be careful when retrieving the cache, and ensure it is placed back in the same place and out of sight ***
There is an additional clue on the container lid and on the log book - you will need this along with nine others in order to find my bonus cache (also part of the Church Micro series)
If any body would like to expand to this series please do, I would just ask that you could let Sadexploration know first so he can keep track of the Church numbers and names to avoid duplication
