The church was opened for worship in 1869, although a Methodist community was worshipping in the town some 20 years earlier. The building has seen a few changes over the years, most recently in 2008 when major building work was carried out to refurbish the interior, build a much improved entrance porch and an extension at the back.
The cache:
P = the number of light bulbs under the entrance canopy.
R = the number of lights fixed to the right-hand side wall of the church.
M = the number of windows (not the number of glass panes) on the right-hand side wall of the church.
C = the number of windows (not the number of glass panes) on the left-hand side wall of the church.
The cache is at N51° 43.(C-M)(R-1)(P+M) W000° 49.(Cx2)(C+M)7. Total co-ordinates add up to 54.
The container is a 35ml film pot. Please bring your own pen or pencil. Parking is usually possible within 100 yards of the cache.
Geocaching Etiquette. geocaching.com states under 'Help Center' in Paragraph 1.7: 'We like to keep things fun for everyone, so we have a few rules we encourage everyone to follow. Sign both the logbook and log your find online to get your smiley. Geocache owners love reading about your experience'. There are more rules, but this is the first one. This cache owner requests that if on the rare occasion geocachers are unable to sign, an explanation is given in their log. A photo of the cache, if possible should then be sent through the messaging system.
