Church Micro 1898...Forest Hill-German Church Traditional Geocache

Small camocache. Holds logbook and small pencil. Larger than a 35mm but not as big as a clipbox, so its classed as a micro although geocoins and TBs should fit.

Cache isnt on church grounds, its near the railway bridge crossing adjacent to the church.

Parking available on street next to church for a quick cache grab.

The German Church has absolutely stunning stained glass windows when looking from inside out. Has been used on Songs of Praise, the BBC TV programme. Church isnt usually open though to public.

Forest Hill, Sydenham and Crystal Palace housed one of the major German communities in London, composed mostly of wealthy merchants, with a sprinkling of musicians and artists. The German Evangelical Church was founded in temporary accommodation in 1875, and the church was built in 1883. Dietrich Bonhoeffer was the pastor from 1933 to 1935 and the church was named after him at the end of World War II. It was bombed during the war, and rebuilt.

If anybody would like to expand to this series please do, I would just ask that you could let Sadexploration know first so he can keep track of the Church numbers and names to avoid duplication.
