Our first cache placement so relatively easy. On placement the
cache (35ml film canister) contained a log sheet, pencil and
geocaching badge for FTF.
Please replace as exactly as found.
And now some information on the church...
St. Paul's, Rusthall, stands on a conspicuous site just off the
A264 Langton Rd, and its tower is quite a landmark, being seen from
almost every direction at great distances. The church was built in
1849 - 1850 and consecrated in August, 1850, and originally
accommodated 520 persons; but the aisle which was subsequently
added, largely increased the capacity of the building. Its
architecture is much and justly admired. The graveyard is a quiet
and attractive spot, and contains many elegant and costly tombs.
The first interment was that of Charlotte Jeffrey Empson, and a few
years after, her father, William Empson, son-in-law of Lord
Jeffrey. The twelfth Earl of Buchan, William Selwyn, Q. C., and
George R. Porter, are among the notable persons buried here. A very
beautiful reredos has been presented to this church, by J.
Stone-Wigg, Esq. It was designed by Jo. Norton, Esq., architect,
and executed by Mr. Farmer, of Westminster Road.
There is a neat Parish Room, where services are held, at the
lower end of the Common near the old Workhouse.
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
