Geocache Description:

St Nicholas Church is a beautiful medieval church set in the heart of the hamlet of Nether Winchendon. It is listed in 'England's Thousand Best Churches'.

The church has a single hand clock, this being one of only 6 similar in the country. It was placed on the building in 1772. Little has changed to the exterior since the late 18th century. The nave is remarkable for it's simplicity. The church is known for it's high box pews, the west gallery, the Royal Arms and the 3 decker pulpit (dated 1613). Some of the pews at the back of the church date from the early 16th century. The tower has 6 bells.

The church is open daily. Services are every third Sunday morning. The church website invites worshippers to 'come on an adventure as we give thanks to God the Father, find rest in Jesus, and serve others in the power of the Holy Spirit'.

Due to tree cover, the co-ordinates may be a little out, but to help you, the cache is located outside of the church grounds at the tree to the left of the east gate.

Geocaching Etiquette. geocaching.com states under 'Help Center' in Paragraph 1.7: 'We like to keep things fun for everyone, so we have a few rules we encourage everyone to follow. Sign both the logbook and log your find online to get your smiley. Geocache owners love reading about your experience'. There are more rules, but this is the first one. This cache owner requests that if on the rare occasion geocachers are unable to sign, an explanation is given in their log. A photo of the cache, if possible should then be sent through the messaging system.
