Some history about this church.
The current site of Offington Methodist Church was bought by a group of local worshippers in 1928 and the original church was opened in 1932 . Both church and car park were packed on the Saturday to hear the first sermon.
After the War, membership had risen and the congregation raised funds to build the Mary Humphrey Hall. This was opened in 1949 to house the youth activities of the church.
As membership grew from strength to strength it was obvious that an entirely new church building would be necessary. So it was, that only 25 years after the original building was dedicated that the present church opened its doors in 1959.
By 1970 membership had risen further and so again more space was needed, An airy new hall, named the Allan Fletcher Hall after the first Reverend of the present church, flanking the building, was finished in 1976.

Wherigo Reverse Caches were inspired by the original "The First Reverse Cache"
The cartridge for the Wherigo version was developed by -Waldmeister- and has been re-used in many different caches.
To find this cache, you need to download this Wherigo cartridge to your device from , press "PLAY" and type in these codes to activate the cartridge:
K0H3(L-M)1
B8(C-D)(Q/R)04
0(D*N)8(F-G)2(P-K)
You will then be the owner of a Reverse-Cache-Box, which will not give you coordinates but rather indicate the distance to the final/geocache.
Your task is to find the geocache using the box as little as possible for checking the distance.
Be sure to take the code with you, as you might need it if there is a problem with your device.
When you reach the final, you will be given some statistics, and a personal password which will enable you to "create" your own reverse cache wherever you want in the world. Don't forget to tell -Waldmeister- about your plans.
Please note, the cache is not hidden within the church grounds.
