Dalesman: This cache has been in need of care and maintenance for some time and as the owner has not repaired it I am archiving it.

Guidelines:[i] "You are responsible for occasional visits to your cache to maintain proper working order, especially when someone reports a problem with the cache (missing, damaged, wet, etc.). You may temporarily disable your cache to let others know not to search for it until you have a chance to fix the problem. This feature is to allow you a reasonable amount of time - normally a few weeks - in which to check on your cache. If a cache is not being maintained, or has been temporarily disabled for an unreasonable length of time, we may archive the listing."[/i]

Geocache Description:

Welcome to St John the Evangelist, Farsley.

The Parish of St John the Evangelist is in the west of Leeds within the boundaries of the former Borough of Pudsey. The parish Church and its adjacent community hall are located in the heart of the village of Farsley, on the east side of Town Street.

For centuries Farsley was served by the mediaeval parish of St Wilfrid, Calverley and, largely resulting from the poverty of the area, did not gain its own Anglican parish status and Church until 1843. The land was donated by the Thornhill Estate and contributions were made from far and wide, including from the Dowager Queen Adelaide, to enable construction.

Farsley dates back over a thousand years, to before the Norman Conquest and is mentioned in the Domesday Book as 'Fersellia', as part of the parish of Calverley. Until 1843 it had no church of its own, with the religious void being filled by either Methodists or the Baptists. Reverend Samuel Redhead, the Vicar of Calverley, sought to establish a Church of England presence in Farsley and wrote many letters asking for funding, including to the Queen Dowager who gave £20. The site was given by the Lord of the Manor, Thomas Thornhill and the architect was Captain William Wallen of Huddersfield. The first service was held on the 29th October 1843 and the building was crowded. The congregation gradually grew into a dedicated group including local millowners, who proved to be generous benefactors.

The co-ordinates given will lead you to the main gates to the church. Through the gates and up the stone steps brings you to the front door of the church and also into the graveyard. The church yard is a traditional site with many impressive headstones. We do ask that you be respectful when looking for this cache.

Once inside the graveyard, you are looking for "Nanny". Look everywhere. Once you find her, you'll notice that she died January ABth CDEF in her GH year.

The cache can be found at N 53 48.(D-C-A)(H)(C+A) and W 001 40.(F)(E/F)(D-G-A).

This cache has been placed with the kind permission of the Reverend Paul Tudge, Priest-in-Charge of St John the Evangelist, Farsley.
