A short multi at St John's church in Weston. The cache is not at the published coordinates.
The Grade II* listed St John the Evangelist's church was built between 1897 and 1898 to a design by Douglas and Fordham at a cost of over £5,000. It was initially a chapel of ease to Runcorn parish church. To raise funds to build the church, its choirboys wrote thousands of letters to choristers and choirboys of churches and cathedrals throughout the country. This initiative aroused the interest of many people, and over 5,000 donations were received. Because of this, it is sometimes known as "the choirboys' church". The tower was added in 1900 at a cost of approximately £700. A clock costing about £60 made by J. B. Joyce of Whitchurch was added to the tower in 1901.
The church is built from local red sandstone with Welsh slate roofs. Its plan consists of an embraced west tower, a four-bay nave with a narrow north aisle, a south porch approached by a flight of steps, and a chancel which is higher than the nave. The organ chamber is to the north of the chancel and underneath the chancel are vestries. It has a very short, very powerful west tower with short broach spire, with one set of lucarne windows. The church has two massive west buttresses and a shallow buttress to the south. On the west side is a two-light window above which is a clock face.
Inside the church, the stone pulpit is polygonal and includes a panel depicting the Crucifixion. The font is also stone and is octagonal. In the south wall are two stained glass windows; the one to the west depicts Isaiah in a single panel, and the other has four panels depicting Joshua, Saint George, Saint Alban and Gideon. The east window depicts the Crucifixion. Only one of the windows in the north wall contains stained glass; this depicts two angels. The west wall contains a window to the memory of Rev Frank Cartwright, vicar from 1963 to 1968. It contains motifs relating to the Diocese of Worcester where Rev Cartwright was trained, including a figure of Wulfstan of Worcester, and the Diocese of Chester, including a figure of Saint Werburgh. The organ was built by A. Young in 1898 and rebuilt by the Jardine Organ Company in 1981. In the vestry is a framed letter from Robert Baden-Powell, posted from South Africa on 12 August 1900, congratulating the boys of Weston Village for forming an Anti-Smoking Society.
Outside the church you will find the phone number of the vicar. This is 01928 ABCDEF.
The old school house (now converted into flats) is to the right of the church. Above its door is a date. This is GHIJ.
There is a blue plaque on the wall of the school house dedicated to Thomas Edward Taylor. His year of death is KLMN.
