Geocache Description:


ST. JAMES CHURCH

Is a simplified Gothic Revival style parish church in the Old Town which was totally rebuilt in EFGH.
The previous church on the site was first mentioned in documents and built in ABCD and had been extensively rebuilt in the 16th century. Although the reasons for rebuilding the church have been lost in the mists of time it may well have been connected with the discovery of open coffins beneath the church floor which gave rise to some very unpleasant smells.
Rebuilt during the later years of the Newfoundland trade its supporting pillars are unusually made from wood. These pine pillars are said to have been felled in Newfoundland for the masts of ships and were originally covered with plaster and painted to resemble stone. The church contains the mahogany and gilt reredos of 1736 which came from the earlier church.
The other church in the centre of Poole was St Paul’s this was demolished in 1963 and its site sold for the erection of shops. £25,000 of the sale went to refurbish St James and the window on the south side of St. James showing the Crucifixion came from the east window of St. Paul's.
I chose to use this church as in the porch there is a large plaque taken from the other town centre church St Pauls mentioned above and it mentions a Churchill family member who was killed in the war. (I will add more details when I manage to get inside the church)


Please bring a pen. the cache is slightly larger than a film container.
