Grove Road Evangelical Church
The chapel was built in 1937 by 'The Peculiar People'. The word 'peculiar' was used in the old-fashioned sense of 'special' or 'set apart'. It comes from the King James Authorized Version's use of the word in I Peter ch.1 v.9. The 'Peculiar People' have a fascinating local history, there is a foundation stone to them on the building. Naturally, words change or loose their meanings over time, and the 'Peculiar People' changed their name in the 1950's to 'The Union Of Evangelical Churches'. There are currently 17 chapels in this group of 'bible-based' churches, located mainly in Essex. Grove Road Evangelical Church is just one constituent member.
The cache is NOT in the church grounds or on church property.
