Church Micro 6926...Nailsea - Christchurch Multi-cache

This cache has been archived.

Team Mojo 100: This one has encountered too many problems, the hiding spot is not as viable as it once was and I am not as local these days, so reluctantly it is curtains for this cache.
Hopefully this frees up some space in the area for a new hide or perhaps a replacement Church Micro for Christ Church by another cacher.

Geocache Description:

Nailsea Christchurch
Nailsea Christchurch is a fairly small 19th century church near to Nailsea town centre.


The listed coordinates are about 40m away from the church due to proximity of nearby caches (to space out icons on the cache map) however the church is very obvious to see!

In 1831, the census recorded Nailsea as having a population of 2,114. This number was potentially going to increase with the opening of the Bristol and Exeter railroad passing through part of the parish (now Backwell). Holy Trinity could only hold 360 people (excluding the gallery, which was for the use of the Sunday school children).

It was proposed to erect a new church near the glasshouses, which could hold 400 people. Sir John Smyth presented a piece of land with work to commence when sufficient funds were available. The foundation stone of Christ Church was laid on 22nd February 1842 by Thomas Kington of Charlton House, Wraxall. The church was consecrated on Friday April 12st 1843 by the Lord Bishop of Salisbury.
