This cache forms part of the SMB (St Mary Barnes) Scout Group series of caches which were assembled by the Scouts and hidden by the assistant Scout leader (Scornelian) as an introduction to Geocaching. Scouts can use Geocaching towards achieving their Navigator badge.

St Mary's Church, Barnes is the parish church of Barnes in Greater London (formerly in Surrey). It is a grade 2* listed building
It was built of coursed flint sometime between 1100-1150. It was consecrated in 1215 after the signing of Magna Carta. It was extended to the west in the early 13th century, and later to the east, creating a chancel. A west tower was added in the late 15th century (c1485). The north wall was demolished in the late 18th century (c1786) to create a north aisle.
A major fire on 8 June 1978 destroyed the Victorian and Edwardian additions to the church, but left the tower and Norman chapel almost intact. The church was restored with the inclusion of elements of its former structure. The north wall contains a Gothic revival east window. The church was re-dedicated in February 1984, with the original building now named as the Langton Chapel.
Major General Roger Elliott, one of the earliest British Governors of Gibraltar, was buried in the churchyard on 21 May 1714.

If anybody would like to expand 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.
