Right, cache is now a small bison tube... It used to be a 1 litre clip-lock box in a camouflage bag, but it's gone AWOL, so I've decided to stay true to the spirit of Church Micros. This cache is placed in the nature reserve, for which I have obtained permission to do so, please respect the wildlife.
It is not necessary to enter church grounds AT ALL, so please don't go poking around. A bit of Church info for you: Until 1844, Loscoe was within the parish of Heanor, but in that year Loscoe, along with Codnor, became a separate parish when St. James’s Church, situated at Cross Hill, between the two villages, was built. In 1927 Loscoe became a separate parish. Services were first held in the Mission Church, built on land given by the Butterley Company, the owners of Ormonde Colliery. (This building is said to have first been built by the first prisoners of war at Denby, and was taken down and rebuilt at Loscoe.) In 1938, a new church, dedicated to St. Luke, was erected, the builders being Sisson & Sons of Langley Mill. Since then, It has been converted somewhat, and now some of the building is used by 1st Loscoe (St. Luke's) Scout Group, whom I would like to thank for letting me introduce geocaching to a lot of new faces! The conversions include a double level area, with space upstairs for the scouts and downstairs for events and storage.
