Geocache Description:

The cache brings you to St. James' Church in Grange just of the main Dundalk - Carlingford road. It should be just a quick cache and dash though GZ will not be wheelchair accessible

This is the oldest church in the Archdiocese of Armagh. Very little is known about its early history but it has been in continuous use since 1762
Prior to that there was a Cistercian Abbey in Grange, built in 1144, which was part of the monastery in Newry.

In 1762 St. James Church was a long buildng with a door at each end and the altar was in the centre. In 1815 a battlemented sacristy and a belfry were added.

The original building had a thatched roof which was later slated in the 1840's and the floor tiled. This was the work of Canon Anthony Gossan who was Parish Priest of Cooley from 1846 to 1873.

In 1994 the church was again renovated and refurbished by the late Canon John McGrane. Great care was taken to provide a modern equipped church while maintaining its ancient character. The church in its beautiful setting, nestling under Maeve's gap, has attracted many visitors in recent times.

"Church Micro IE caches, based on the Church Micro series by sadexploration in the UK, are designed to be reasonably quick but interesting caches linked, unsurprisingly, to churches of any denomination
