Church Micro 8095...Chapel St Leonards Traditional Cache

St LeonardsParish Church, St Leonards, Lincolnshire

The cache is not in the Church grounds, but is on a public footpath nearby. It is a small container (but not that small!) but contains a log only, so a writing implement will be required.

Church History

• The Anglican parish church is dedicated to Saint Leonard.
   
• The parish history is tied very closely to Mumby parish and Mumby Chapel as, at one time, they were all part of one large ecclesiastical entity. Mumby had developed into a parish of its own, partly due to the North Sea's occassional forays into the coast and the resultant destruction of St. Leonard's church.
   
• St. Leonard's Church was erected in 1794 out of the material from a former church then standing, but in ruins.
   
• The church is a small building of brick and stone.
   
• The church was rebuilt in 1866 and restored in 1891.
   
• The church seats 100
