Yukonhuskies: I no longer have the time to spend on Geocaching and I certainly do not have the patience to deal with an ever increasing number of snowflakes.

Thank you to all the people who have genuinely found my caches over the years.

Geocache Description:

This is a lovely church and the oldest one in brixham. I'm enjoying the church micro series and thought it would be nice to place one here. N50 23.162 W003 31.006
The above co ordinates will take you to a bench where you will need to start gathering information for stage 2.find the container and inside are the co ords for the final stage Follow the path towards the church. There is no need to deviate from the path at any point..

I couldn't find out a great deal of information about the church so feel free to add any.the park behind has some good views over the church.BRIXHAM, a flourishing market town, sea-port, and extensive fishing station, is delightfully situated on the southern projecting point of Torbay, and is in two parts, called Upper and Lower Brixham; the former of which extends in a long straggling street, more than 1½ mile south of Lower Brixham, or Brixham Quay, and most of it, (with the parish church,) is in a picturesque valley, opening to the Quay, and bounded on the east by the lofty sea cliffs, and Berryhead, - the most eastern part of the bay. . . . The Parish Church (Virgin Mary,) at Upper Brixham, is a large and ancient structure, in the perpendicular style, with a lofty embattled tower, containing six bells and a clock . . . . The vicarage, valued in K.B. at £25. 15s., and in 1831 at £494, with the curacy of Churston-Ferrers annexed to it, is in the patronage of the Lord Chancellor, and incumbency of the Rev. Robt. Holdsworth, M.A., who has held the living since 1809. . . ." [From White's Devonshire Directory (1850)]
The ancient parish for the seaport town of Brixham, in Haytor Hundred, the Archdeaconry of Totnes and the Diocese of Exeter. The parish of All Saints was divided off from it in 1828. Brixham St Peter is a modern parish (1909).The church has bell ringing practice every sun morning and thursday evenings,it's lovely to hear the church bells on a sun morning as i only live around the corner,although since i got into geocahing i seldomly hear them as i'm always out on a cache trail somewhere!right,the cache.....
