Advent Calendar 2024 Day 8: St Peter and St Paul Roman Catholic Church, Swadlincote
This concept of an advent calendar set of church micros is unashamedly copied from a set I found in Moray, Northern Scotland. When I discovered those, I knew I had to do something similar. All of these church micros are set in South Derbyshire, although geographically the district is quite wide spread as you may have noticed from A-Z and similar caches. I created a list of candidate churches in the area; some had had church micros before but I had no qualms about "resurrecting" those. There are a couple of unusual or off the beaten track entries in the set as well just to add to interest.
St Peter and St Paul is a church in the Roman Catholic Diocese of Nottingham. From the church website: [it] is a building of typical design and materials for the mid-20th century date, in a plain round-arched style but with an unexpectedly richly-carved pedimented stone entrance. The associated presbytery and shrine are of some interest, in particular the latter which is probably of 19th century date and a war memorial.
The cache is nearby and should be an easy find. Extreme stealth will be required as this is a busy junction so there is a generous hint; please avoid service times and also school times for the associated nursery which is just down the road. The cache is not placed near that.

Logging Etiquette
Geocache hiders sometimes go through a great deal of planning to place their caches. As a result, they'd like to hear your feedback on whether you liked or disliked any aspect of the hide, or if you feel that some cache maintenance is required. Single word, acronym, or emoticon logs may be easier when you have a lot of caches to log, but it doesn't tell the hider or other finders anything about your adventure (or lack thereof) in finding the cache. Please keep this in mind when entering your log.
