This collection of caches has nothing to do with the Church Micro series in the UK. Given that the Australian 2016 census indicates that No Religion and Jedi Knight are the fastest increasing classifications of the optional religion question "What is the person's religion?" it is not surprising that there is surfeit of empty churches and support buildings that have been repurposed.

The Village Church
Description:
An early Colonial bluestone chapel with simple gable roof which is now used as a private residence. While it has been altered to accommodate the residence, this has been carried out in a way which has largely maintained the original building and its internal spaces. Externally, the original building is little changed. It appears in reasonable condition for its age.
History:
John Roberts gave land for building this church in 1848 to replace a smaller one. Although primarily used as a Congregational chapel, it served all denominations until sold to the Bible Christians in 1877. In 1903 it became a Seventh Day Adventist chapel and operated as such until the 1960's. In recent years it has been the home of a local glass artist.
Streetscape Contribution:
An important corner building in the heart of old Kensington. This prominent building contributes significantly to the early Colonial character of the area.
Significance:
A very early Colonial church of considerable social importance. It is associated with the early settlement of Kensington in the 1840's, and is indicative of the way of life found in Kensington at that time. While now a private residence, it remains an attractive building which contributes significantly to the early Colonial streetscape of Maesbury Street and High Street.
The Cache
At the listed coordinates there is a sign with some more details of the building and adjacent park. From this sign gather the following information
How Many burials were there in the cemetry? Subtract 28 from that number to make the South Decimal minutes = A
What year did Cedar Prest purchase the building? Subtract 1199 from that number to make the East Decimal minutes = B
Decimal Minutes checksum is 9 + 18 = 27
Cache is located at S34 55.A E138 38.B
Good luck and have fun hunting
