Holy Trinity Lamorbey Church
The Church.
In 1866 the loop-line of the South Eastern Railway was constructed and Sidcup Station was opened, the result of this was an increase in house building to meet the population expansion. The original Chapel could not cope with the increased population in the area, as a result the architect Ewan Christian (1814-1895) was commissioned to design a new church building. A new parish of Lamorbey was created in 1879 and Holy Trinity Church was consecrated by the Archbishop of Canterbury on 21st June 1880. In 1905 Lamorbey became part of the Diocese of Rochester. In 1944 as a result of enemy action (a flying bomb impacting nearby) Holy Trinity and the Old Church School were severely damaged. The west end of the church was blown in, the blast destroyed all eight stained glass windows. Only the East end stained glass window was replaced: the ‘Te Deum’ window, designed by Martin Travers the architect commissioned to rebuild the church after the war damage.

The Cache.
This is a mini-multi cache. The coordinates are for possible parking (not Mon-Fri 1-3)
You need to walk to
N 51° 26.157 E 000° 06.105
Where you will need to do some simple counting
A= number of screws holding handle on
B= number of square holes
C= number of rivets holding top bracket on
Proceed to N 51° (A/2)(B/2).(C-A)(B-C)(C+1) E 000° 0(B/2).(B-3*A)(2*A)(B-C)
The Brackets serve no mathematical purpose, they just seperate out the numbers.
If anybody 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
