Geocache Description:

The church Micro series is intended to bring Geocachers to various churches all over the UK (and beyond). Some of these churches provide the backdrop of our communities history.
Please take some time to either read the cache page or visit the church.

The Anglican parish church at Minting, listed in the 1086 Domesday Book as Mentinghes is dedicated to St. Andrew and dates from 12th century with 15th century additions. It underwent a major rebuild in 1863/4 by Ewan Christian.

In 2008 a plaque was placed inside the church recording the names of ten men and Minting’s status as a Thankful Village The term ‘Thankful Village’ dates back to the 1930s, when it was coined by journalist and writer Arthur Mee, to describe a village that had lost no men in the Great War.

Minting is one of only 4 Thankful villages in Lincolnshire and one of only 52 in England and Wales, there are non in Scotland or Northern Ireland
