St Michael’s is a small church built in the Arts and Crafts style by R M Fulford in 1889. It was originally intended as a private chapel. It comprises a combined nave and chancel, a south transept, a south west porch and a north vestry.
The west gable is topped by a bellcote. The red and yellow brick interior also has stone dressings. The oak reredos of 1891 has a relief of Bartolommeo’s ‘The Entombment’ in an elaborate surround. The reredos, pulpit, lectern, font and chancel screen are part of the original furnishings of the church.
The cache is not within the church grounds but is nearby. There is only room for the log, so please bring your own pen.
There is usually room to park in the side street opposite the church.
Stealth may well be required when retrieving and replacing the cache. Please replace in the correct position, as not all parts of the hiding place are suitable for attaching the magnet.
Congratulations to SBSD for FTF
