Where? The Old Rectory, Churchgate, Stockport
The Old Rectory, which overlooks Stockport Parish Church, is considered to be the finest example of Georgian architecture in the town centre. It was erected for the Reverend Samuel Stead in 1744, replacing an earlier parsonage. It was used as an Army Billet during WWII but continued as the home to Rectors and Bishops until 1965. The Bishop of Stockport was the final ecclesiastical resident from 1951 to 1965. It became a multi-roomed pub-restaurant in 1991, and maintains a country house feel with plenty of dark wood and plush décor. The pub has kindly reserved one of the bar rooms for us to meet for the event. The pub is now a popular chain pub, food and drink is available.
It is hoped that a couple of new church micro caches will be published when the event finishes allowing us to have a short walk around the town. Details will be announced later. This is a geocaching event, no religious belief is required to attend - all are welcome.
By attending a church micro twelve year event you will gain the above church micro number which is unique to the anniversary events and can only be obtained by attending an event. It will count towards your church micro statistics. A badge is usually available, I will announce details when I know.
