Geocache Description:


This cache is part of a series of caches which are placed at or near village halls and community centres. For details and statistics visit the Village Hall Series website Click here

The Parish Hall is at the posted coordinates, but the cache is not, so please don’t search there!

Backwell Parish Hall is the local village hall for the village of Backwell; the local Women’s Institute (WI) building is situated behind, separate to this hall. It has many functions in the community, from the local polling station, to hosting social events and the village show in September.
The Parish Hall has been standing on the crossroads in the centre of Backwell since 1910. The Rector of the time, Rev. Caudwell, had recognised the need for the Hall and set up an organising committee to fundraise and oversee its construction. The land on which the Hall was built was donated by the Marquess of Bath and the c. £900 it cost to build was mainly raised by public subscription. Under the foundation stone was placed a penny, contributed by a poor woman who died before the building was completed. The Hall was opened in March 1910 and in July 1910 hosted the "Backwell Revels," a two day celebration. The Revels raised £285 which cleared the final debt on the Hall's building. The clock was purchased to celebrate the coronation of King George V for a cost of £30.

Further history can be found here.




 This puzzle is a Jigidi; an online jigsaw puzzle. Click on the picture below to be taken to the 135-piece Jigidi puzzle, where you will need to drag and drop the jigsaw pieces together to form the picture of the Parish hall as shown. Puzzle pieces will automatically click together if they’re in the right place! The coordinates for the final hide will appear on-screen once the puzzle is completed.
