Church Micro 2498...Holyhead-St Seiriol's Traditional Geocache

This cache has been archived.

hofficoffi: I think it's time for this one to go. Since placing this one I find myself up in Holyhead less often so maintenance is a bit trickier. Also when the recurring comment about a cache is the horrible location it's time to rethink or archive.

Hopefully someone more local can place one that will do justice to the memory of the church I saw from school every day for years (and give me one to find on my trips home)

Geocache Description:

A cache hidden near the site of the former St Seiriol Church in Holyhead. The church was demolished in 1992 after the structure was deemed unsafe

St Seiriol's Church, named after Seiriol of Penmon, a friend of St Cybi. For more information on St Cybi's Church, have a look at my other cache Church Micro 2497...Holyhead-St Cybi

The church was built on 1854 and was designed by Charles Verelst

The building was declared unsafe and was demolished in 1992, a couple of years after the spire was removed.

Legend has it that St Seiriol and St Cubi frequently crossed Anglesey to meet at the middle for a bit of a jangle. With Cybi travelling East in the morning and back home West in the afternoon and Seiriol travelling from West from Penmon in the morning and East in the afternoon Cybi always had the sun in his face and Seiriol always had his back to the sun so they became known as 'Seriol Wyn a Chybi Felyn' - White Seriol and Yellow Cybi

The cache is at the back of the cemetery and only accessible from inside the grounds. You do not need to get close to any graves to retrieve the cache and need to leave the path by no more than a metre.


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
