Geocache Description:


Welcome to Lowick. This is a simple multi-cache with the final container being a short walk away.

According to Visit Northumberland Lowick chutch was originally a medieval chapel linked to the Benedictine Monastery on Holy Island, St John the Baptist Church, Lowick was rebuilt in 1794-1796. It was extensively modified during Victorian times with a chancel added in 1886-87.

It presents today as a large, complete Victorian Church with an impressive hammer- beam wooden roof. Of particular note are the pre-Raphaelite style stained-glass windows, many of these are memorials to members of the Sitwell family from Barmoor Castle. A memorial to General Sitwell and his first wife Constance of 1910 made by the famous Whitechapel Glassworks of London is particularly noteworthy. This window in the pre-raphaelite style shows the vivid use of colour associated with this movement.

To find the container, you need start at the coordinates provided. Here you will find a notice board that says Wednesday services are held at J.3Iam.

The area code for the phone number of the vicar is HP28B.
