The cache is not placed on church property but is close by, beside "The Garden On The Green", a small public garden area with a bench.
While the cache should be easy to find this is almost always a high muggle area so the D rating reflects this. Please use maximum stealth here.
No Spoilers please.
*********************************
The Church: In 1856 the Revd John Wood gave land for a church to be built in Swanwick, at which time the village's industries consisted of coal mining, farming, the Butterley ironworks, framework knitting, shoemaking and a newly established silk stocking maker. Two of the Revd John's sons are buried by the west door of the church, the Revd Hugh Wood, and John Wood, an Alfreton solicitor.
Swanwick St. Andrew's, a grade II listed church, was completed in 1859 and the tower added in 1902. The east window is dedicated to those who perished in the Great War. Pews were removed from the church's west end to provide a flexible area for activities, post-service refreshments and special occasions.
A number of stone heads decorate the exterior – all of nobility with one exception. The story goes that a local farmer admired the carvings and asked the masons if they could carve a likeness of himself and his wife. The mason agreed but mixed the heads – the bowler hatted farmer has prominence on the church and a nobleman appears on a former farmhouse on Sleetmoor Lane.
