A small traditional cache placed in Bishop's Corner cemetery, between Leeston and Southbridge.
This cemetery is also known as Leeston Methodist Cemetery or Leeston Wesleyan Cemetery.
This site was first used for burials in 1872. A Methodist church had been built here, but was shifted to Southbridge in 1875. From the 1880's, when the Methodist section of the Ellesmere Cemetery was developed, the cemetery had little use. The Ellesmere County Council took over its administration in 1981, and since then, the only burials permitted are for families with pre-purchased plots.
Despite the large number of burials in the cemetery, only around 20 headstones remain.
The cache is a 200ml Sistema container with log book and room for small swaps. It is not placed anywhere near any of the graves. Please treat this location with the respect it deserves. Bring your own writing device and replace the cache as found.
