This cache has been archived.

Southerntrekker: Hi There

As the owner has not responded to either my log or my colleague's previous log requesting that they check this cache I am archiving it.

Please note that once the cache has been archived, this can not be undone. This is explained in the Help Center - http://support.groundspeak.com//index.php?pg=kb.page&id=70

You will need to create a new listing, put it back in for review and as long as it meets today's guidelines and no other caches have been published in the area causing a proximity problem, then it will be published.

Regards

Geocache Description:


St Silas Church

You could easily walk past this at fist glance small church. By placing a cache here I hope you can learn a bit about the history of St Silas, an unusually named church.

Built on land that was previously a brewery, this church opened in 1863, originally as Christ Church and then renamed as St. Silas 4 years later. 

There's only one other church in the diocese of London with the same dedication - Saint Silas the Martyr in Kentish Town, a not too distant neighbour.

St Silas a.k.a. Silvanus was a leading member of the early Christian community. 

Another unusual feature of this church is the WW1 memorial in the grounds built before the war ended, in 1917. 

Congrats to the FTF joint cachers BubblesDeVere & Debs54 yes
