The co-ordinates listed are for the question. The cache is not in the grounds of the church.
The Church
Pendock Cross church, also known as The Redeemer Church, was built as a temporary mission church, but is still in use. The building is rare in type – it is believed that there is only one other remotely like it (somewhere in Yorkshire) – and has a unique charm. Built entirely of timber, it has an outdoor font which is stacked up on bricks.
Originally, there were very few people living at the western end of Pencock but, during Victorian times, a larger community sprang up at that end of the parish. Since the existing parish church was over a mile away, it was decided to build a small wooden church to serve the everyday needs of this community. It would seem that it was expected that this building would only have a life of about 30 years. It was consecrated in 1887 and, it has to be said, was rather looked down upon by the people of Upper Pendock at the eastern end. Elements of this remain even to this day, even though the former parish church is now in the care of the Historic Churches Trust as it had become impossibly expensive for a dwindling population to maintain. Thus The Church of the Redeemer is now the main place of worship for the people of Pendock.
