Hubby and I have placed a multi-cache close to St Anne's Church, where we got married. Below is a brief history of the church, and a link to the webpage if you require any further information.
The present church building dates back to around 1830 AD; prior to this a chapel existed on the site since at least 1230 AD. The chapel was originally built to serve visitors to the nearby village of Bitton, and the local mining community.
The church was permitted its own churchyard in 1720 to serve the growing population - all burials prior to this took place at Bitton. Today, the churchyard offers a pleasant walk through to the local housing estate.
Today, the church serves the local community of Oldland Common and offers weddings, baptisms and funerals as well as regular church services. Local groups meet regularly at the Orchard Rooms on site, with refreshments often available.
Further information relating to the church and the services offered can be found at: http://stanneschurcholdland.org.uk/
For the first part of this multi-cache, you are looking for a small black magnetic nano containing co-ordinates to the final location. The main cache is a small black 35mm film canister.
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.
There is also a Church Micro Stats & Information page found via the Bookmark list
