Geocache Description:

In the grounds of St. Andrews Methodist Church in Mirfield, this is my first ever geocache! The co-ordinates will take you to a place to ponder the cache title - which should show you where to look for the cache itself.

Please don't park in the church car park - you may get blocked in by the groups who use this building.

This cache was placed with kind permission of St. Andrew's Methodist Church Council.

PLEASE SEE NOTE POSTED 31ST AUGUST 2020

St. Andrew's was first formed when 3 Methodist congregations (Old Bank, Knowle and Northorpe) came together to form a new congregation here in 1965. The building is a little younger, completed in 1969. The front of the church has some noteable features, including the 'obelisk' and a small Garden of Remembrance, where one of my relatives is comemmorated - so this is a special place for me.

 

Those good at maths will note that 2015, when I planted this cache, is the 50th anniversary of the forming of the 'new' congregation - so "happy birthday St. Andrew's' !!laugh

FTF: Overanout, extremely quickly! ***May 2017 - the original cache has disappeared, so we've replaced it with a new one. The container is a little larger, but still in the same place. ***July 2017: Sorry for the delay - we've replaced the container again. It's a little smaller than the original, and we've relocated it slightly. To find the new location - 10 steps southwest from the original location, up a little then look under the loose stones. Beware of the thorns! ***September 2017: Having been muggled YET again, another small move. Still 10 steps southwest from the original location... then look down low. No longer under stones.Magnetic. *** September 2018, and there's another new cache container. This one's not magnetic!
