Geocache Description:

Great Totham is a village divided in two geographically. Farmland in the middle cuts the village into Great Totham North and Great Totham South, with the United Reformed Church situated in the north and the Anglican Church of St Peter’s in the South. I remember holding a children’s birthday party in the old school room of the United Reformed church when my children were young but I’m ashamed to say I’d had never actually seen the inside of this church until setting this cache.



The United Reformed Church in Great Totham North was founded by James Cottee who employed a large number of men and was concerned for their moral and spiritual welfare.  The church, then known as the Evangelical Arminian Chapel opened on the 10th January 1830 with three sermons, two by William Clarke, the superintendent of the connection, and the third by a “female from London”. 



A church fellowship was formed in 1852 and in 1855 the building was put in trust as a congregational or Independent place of worship.  A new chapel was built alongside the old in 1871 for a cost of about £500; for a further £90 the original building was refaced to face it match the new one and was used as a school room and vestry. 



As well as the congregational Church there was also a Wesleyan Chapel in Great Totham at the north end of Mill Road.


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

You are looking for a narrow tube approximately 3-4 inches long.  You will need to bring your own pen,  and tweezers  may be necessary to extract the log. This is in a residential area so please take when retrieving and replacing the cache.
