Advent Calendar 2024 Day 12: All Saints, Hatton
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.
Please note the parking waypoint provided and do not use the church car park - I've already had reports of a grumpy church caretaker and nosy neighbours.
All Saints Church, Hatton, is a former Mission Church built in 1886. It has a beautiful stained glass window dating from the 1920's and an impressive wooden ceiling and organ. It was granted the higher status of Parish Centre of Worship in 2024. It is part of a combined benefice with other churches in the area known collectively as the Appletree Churches.
The cache is a simple hide but maximum stealth will be required, it's recommended to visit at less busy times but not at night.

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.
