All Saints’ Church was built and dedicated in 1903; prior to this, services were held in Florence Laundry in Guildford Road. At that time Lightwater was a small hamlet and growth had just begun, with the development of nurseries and cottages to house the workers. The church was a daughter church of Windlesham until 1931, when the Conventional District of All Saints’ was formed. A Priest-in-Charge was then appointed and the present lower vestry extension added to the building.
Lightwater went through another period of growth in the 1950s to 1970s, largely thanks to the development of Heathrow Airport and, later, the building of the M3 motorway. During this time, in 1963, All Saints’ Lightwater became a parish, the Priest-in-Charge became a Vicar and the Parsonage in Ambleside Road became the Vicarage. Soon after Lightwater became a parish, the new Vicarage was built and the Church Hall was rebuilt over several years, largely by a team of very dedicated local volunteers.
The cache is obviously not within the church grounds, and there is plenty of parking around the back of the church, which can be used for all four of our caches.
