Christ Church, Macclesfield. The cache is a nano*. Bring your own pen. Stealth required as site is overlooked by residential areas... please keep noise to a minimum. PLEASE REPLACE EXACTLY WHERE FOUND - OUT OF SIGHT OF MUGGLES!
Christ Church, Macclesfield is a redundant Anglican church in Great King Street, Macclesfield, Cheshire, England. It has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade II listed building, and is under the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. It is open to visitors at advertised times. The church was in use until 1981.
Charles Roe, a local industrialist, built Christ Church. The body of the church was built in seven months in 1775 and the church was opened on Christmas Day of that year. The tower was built the following year. Its height is 107 feet (33 m) which is out of proportion to the body of the church. It was built to this height to compete with the height of the tower of St Michael's Church.
The tower has a ring of 10 bells that are rung weekly – Practice night Monday. Tenor weight: 23cwts-2qrs-23lb in E flat.
Our first cache in what we hope will become a series of Campanology Caches around the country.
Please respect the Cache area and take any litter home - Cache In Trash Out.
Thanks to the Churches Conservation Trust for allowing placement of this cache. http://www.visitchurches.org.uk/
