A Chuch Micro at Holy Trinity church, Swyre.
The present building dates from the 15th century. In 1503 the church was dedicated to the Holy Trinity, the patron then being King Henry VII.
In 1729 the Rev. John Hutchins, the celebrated author of the "History of Dorset" was the rector and he had the chancel repaired. The church was rebuilt in1843 retaining the tower and the chancel arch. In 1806 the church was given a new ceiling, bell loft floor, the bells rehung and other repairs.
In 1909 the interior was repaired and redecorated and after the winter storms of 1922 repairs were again necessary. Electricity was installed in 1952 and this was followed by a new heating system in 1955. Part of the flooring was repaired in 1985.
To find the cache, take a seat in the porch and from the Millenium map for the parish of Swyre you will need to find the red numbers for the following.
A - Holy Trinity Church
B - Site of Romano-British settlement
C - Publick House in Hare's Lane
D - Berwick Farm
E - Site of Old White House - A former Fishermen's refuge
F - Site of Modbury - A lost mediaeval village

If anybody 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.
There is also a Church Mircro Stats page found via the Bookmark list.
