Church Micro 8631...Swanmore - Methodist Church Traditional Geocache

The cache is a disguised delicate container, for which tweezers may be needed, placed with permission of the house owner, diagonally opposite the Methodist Church. Please sign the log with short date and abbreviated user name.

There is on-street parking in front of the Church although challenging during before/after school .

Swanmore Methodist Church sits near the heart of the village of Swanmore with the primary school, the village shops, war memorial and St Barnabas Church (GC4NTVD) very close by. St Barnabas was built in 1845 and the (Primitive) Methodist Church was built (£135) to serve the growing Victorian population less than 20 years later in 1863 (have a look at the Church Micro number for this cache - pure coincidence!!). In 1909 a school room was added to the Church (£270) and in 2010 another large extension was added. The church celebrated its 150th Anniversary in 2013 and is the longest serving Methodist Church in the Meon Valley Circuit.
