A cache near a church to celebrate our 2 year caching anniversary. (My first find was placed near a local church).
Limited parking is available, or there is also a nearby supermarket carpark.
The cache is not at the published coordinates but here you should be able to find the sign. You will need the numbers from this to find the final coordinates.
After finding the coordinates, take a walk up the drive to see the church building (worth also seeing inside if possible). If you follow the footpath to the right of the Church it may lead in the direction of the cache ...
St Wilfrid's Church, Halton was designed by Albert Randall Wells and built between 1937 and 1939. It is situated in the 1930s suburb of Halton in Leeds.
The site on Halton Hill was given by Viscount Halifax and the building was paid for by Sir John Priestman. The foundation stone was laid on 6 November 1937. The church is Grade II* listed. It bridges the gap between the Arts and Crafts style and modernism. It has Early English gothic inspired details, such as the triangular-headed windows. The concrete vaulting within the interior in Nikolaus Pevsner's words "remind one of German Expressionism in recent church architecture rather than that of England".
The church was built at a cost of £11,700. It still has many of the original fittings designed by Wells as well as contemporary art by Eric Gill.
In 2012/13 the church roof had a major overhaul and total projects costs were estimated at £708,220.
To find the coordinates, you will need to find the sign and convert all the numbers to letters:
