Church Micro 5495...Short Heath - Holy Trinity Traditional Geocache

The parish church of Holy Trinity stands in Church Road, Short Heath. Soon after the formation of the ecclesiastical district in 1846 the Rev. James Leckie became the first vicar who initially held services in a room in the Jolly Collier Inn. Services soon moved to a suitable room in the area which could seat 300 people. Its location is unknown. James Leckie died in 1853 and was replaced by the Rev. W. L. Rosedale. The new parish church was consecrated on 25th July 1855. A vicarage and a day school were soon added. The school closed in 1930. Much of the finance for the new church was given by ironmaster Daniel Bagnall who owned the Coltham Iron and Coal Company; a Mr. Barnabas and Sons; and Joseph Samuel Junior. The church has a nave, aisles, a chancel and is built of sandstone.

This is a traditional cache and IS at the published coordinates.
