The local preachers at the Union Street Wesleyan chapel decided that the growing district of Chelston needed investigating and they decided to establish a Society there and so in 1887 the first services were held in a room over a stable in Walnut Road, after a couple of changes of venue including a house called Mapledene and a newly finished empty house Richard Mallock granted them a lease on a piece of land and Chelston Methodist Church at the bottom of Huxtable Hill opened in 1893, it comprised a chapel seating 500. other the years the building has repaired, maintained and extended with a hall and kitchen on the left hand side.
After the chelston methodist group disbanded the building remained empty and unused.
in June 2015 the building was purchased by The Catholic Ordinatiate group of Torquay, now named The Catholic Church of Our Lady of Walsingham with St Cuthbert Mayne.
Repair work is being undertaken, but once again the building is being used for worship.
The cache is a wooden box that looks like a bird house, located along the side of the building (when facing the church it is along the left hand side of the building along a grassy, path) should be easy enough to locate.
PLEASE BRING A PEN!!!
