Tonbridge Parish Church, Tonbridge
In the early 12th Century a small Norman church was built consisting of the present chancel. The chancel probably remained much the same, apart perhaps for alterations to the windows and doors, until the 13th Century when it was decided to enlarge the church. The west wall was demolished and the nave was extended and a squat tower built at the end of it. An arcade was also built along the north wall during the 13th Century, the arches of which still stand. Various remains of the original pillars can be seen in the Chapel of St. Nicholas to this day. Another major building project took place during the 14th Century when the Chapel of St. Nicholas was constructed by building a north aisle. During the 15th Century the church was also made significantly larger. A south aisle was added and the upper part of the tower was built. Where the organ now stands it is believed that there was a small chapel devoted to the Virgin Mary. In 1536, the Commissioners were set up to enquire into the produce of the remaining monasteries. They declared that there was no virtue in relics and images and that all such objects must be destroyed. As a result, all the various statues and the water stoup in the church were smashed. Little seems to have changed for more than a century, apart from the church silver being replaced with pewter during the time of the Commonwealth Government. In 1663, a gallery was added over the north aisle to accommodate the boys from Tonbridge School during services. Until the 19th Century, the Parish Church of St. Peter and St. Paul was the largest in Kent. The 19th Century was also an era of great restoration in English churches. In 1820 the church was enlarged. The nave roof and the north gallery were altered and a new gallery was put in on the south side. The most striking change was the installation of box pews.
This is a straight forward cache - there are many parking places in the town, though to park near (which is in fact very near 
) unless spaces are available expect a walk to this. Once found please leave in exactly the same place , thanks.
There is an additional clue on the log book - you will need this along with nine others in order to find my bonus cache (also part of the Church Micro series)
If any body 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
