St Peter and St Paul
Number 10 is St Peter and St Paul in Nutfield
The church building was constructed by architect William Burges and was completed in 1869 The church comprises a nave of five bays and a chancel with a broad, square tower at the west end. This 'saddle-back' tower was added to the church in 1874 by W. P. Manning and contains, unusually, 4 bells. These, full circle, bells are rung regularly by a dedicated group who are always ready to welcome both experienced and untrained applicants to their group. Access to the belfry is via an octagonal turret built into the south east corner of the tower; it does not extend beyond this level. There is a combined clergy and choir vestry adjacent to the north side of the chancel with a catslide roof over. There is an open porch on the south side of the nave. The exterior of the church is in local Reigate stone and the interior is brick with timbered beams and an acorn shaped strip wood ceiling. The interior brick finish is quite unique and its pointing is an example of Victorian workmanship at its very best. Apart from the addition of the tower in 1874 the church is unaltered since 1869.
Just enough space to park a few cars outside the church if you go at the right time then its a cache n dash along the footpath.
The cache is a 60ml double potted container.
