Advent Calendar 2024 Day 23: Stanton Methodist Church
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.
This small church was originally constructed as the United Methodist Free Chapel in 1875. It is still in regular use and like many of the other surviving Methodist churches in the area is now part of the East Staffordshire and South Derbyshire Methodist Circuit.
Due to its location parking is not available nearby and it is close to a busy junction so please take note of the parking waypoint and walk up to the location; do not attempt to park at or near the church.
The cache is a small container in the less obvious place. The location is in direct sight of passing vehicles at a busy junction so extreme stealth is required. Please consider visiting at a less busy time of day.

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.
