Yarm Fellowship Hall (nearly) Traditional Cache
pauljoiner: The cache has been stolen yet again. I really cannot be bothered to go to the expense and trouble of maintaining caches if people are going to trash everything.
If you want to keep well maintained caches then look after them.

This is a magnetic micro. It has its own pencil at the moment but taking your own might be wise. Cache and Dash if you can find a place to park – there is usually a space very near to the cache out of shopping hours.
This is the second in a short series of caches related to the churches in Yarm.
[The location is not actually at the Hall but some 60 metres away in a car park which would serve as a base for the series. In walking to see GC38TGA - Yarm St. Mary Magdalene you will pass the Hall. The Hall is at N 54.5086, W 1.33572.]
The hall qualifies because of its history.
The foundation stone was laid in 1822 to build a primitive Baptist chapel which was completed in 1831. In 1897 the Main Hall was added and, following its completion, the middle hall was built to join the two halls together. This became a Methodist Church until it was sold to Yarm Parish Church in the early sixties.
The hall was used as the parish hall until it was sold to the Emmanuel Fellowship Church in 1976.
In 1996, Yarm Town council purchased the hall, after the Emmanuel Fellowship Church outgrew its capacity. When the charitable trust was set up to run the hall, the trustees decided to call it Yarm Fellowship Hall, as it had always been a community building concerned with Fellowship.
