A standard type cache which contains a log book, a pen and a small amount of room for swaps :) This park is locked overnight so a daytime hunt would be best (before 18:30 hours) however there is an unofficial route through the church graveyard down to the bottom of the park, which is flat underfoot until a slight slope to climb at the end.
I already have a cache at the top end of this park, and many loggers have said what a lovely park it is. As there was no church micro or similar at the church adjacent to the park, I thought I'd add one as we love coming here to play and eat chips !! Holy Trinity Church, Kingswood, is an Anglican parish church in Kingswood, South Gloucestershire, England. Until the early 19th century Kingswood had no church of its own, and was served by the ancient parish of Bitton four miles away. A church was considered an urgent requirement by Anglicans, as the area was a hot-bed of Nonconformity with the Wesleyan, Whitfield Tabernacle and Moravian churches already in operation. The church was built within sight of all three and was given a tower so that it became more prominent than its neighbours. It was one of the first churches built from funds voted by Parliament to mark Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo, and hence known as a "Waterloo Church". The foundation stone was laid by the Bishop of Gloucester on 9 June 1819, but there followed a dispute over the title of the site which meant that building did not begin in earnest until 1820. The completed church was consecrated on 11 September 1821. The architect was James Foster. The church was damaged by fire in 1852 and the panelled ceiling in the nave was never replaced. The present chancel was added 1897-1900. It has been designated by English Heritage as a grade II* listed building. The churchyard contains war graves of eight service personnel of World War I and seven of World War II.[1] Well it's a lovely church and as you would expect it is, and has been the ceremonial place for many celebrations whether at the commencement of life or at the latter end. If your local to this location and have memories if this church please record them in your find log ;) Some 30 plus years ago I came here regularly as a girl guide, and would without fail sit fidgeting about for the entire service needing a wee ..... The cache is at low level and should be accessible to most, especially little kids or big ones on their knees :) “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”
