Church Micro …Melksham - Forest In 1829 the Primitive Methodist Mission, known at first as the Castle Combe Mission, was launched and established preaching places in both Melksham itself and the area to the east of the town known as Forest. Primitive Methodism appealed particularly to farm labourers and the Forest area would have supported a good number of these. At first membership was small but later the numbers expanded. In 1852 two houses were bought in Lower Forest and adapted into the first chapel which was opened in 1856. A Sunday school was in existence by 1875. The congregation increased in the 1890s and in 1905 the present stone chapel in Forest Road was opened. In 1938 a stone school building in the chapel grounds was opened. This church was sold off in recent years and is now a Vet Surgery
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

| Logging Etiquette: Geocache hiders sometimes go through a great deal of planning to place their caches. As a result, they'd like to hear your feedback on whether you liked or disliked any aspect of the hide, the journey or location, or if you feel that some cache maintenance is required. Single word, acronym, or "copy and paste" logs may be easier when you have a lot of caches to log, but it doesn't tell the hider or other finders anything about your adventure (or lack thereof) in finding the cache. Please keep this in mind when entering your log.
Travelbug Etiquette: Cachers pay good money for TravelBugs and Geocoins. Please if you take a TB or GC from a cache will you ensure it is correctly logged in and out, also If you take one that still shows somewhere else please be patient before “grabbing” the item, it does not get its mileage by being grabbed and the last person to place may not have had time to log a previous find or the one you took it from. This is particularly important on busy and new caches. If you have an issue with a bug please e-mail the owner through their profile and advise them of the issue. They will be pleased to hear from you.
