St.Lawrence Church Long Eaton - 14115
History
The church dates from the 12th century. It was largely rebuilt between 1868 and 1869 by the architect George Edmund Street. The old church was made to form the south aisle. A north aisle, nave and chancel were added in the same style as the old building. The contractor was Mr Hunt of Long Eaton. The pews were replaced with open seating. A new pulpit was carved by Thomas Earp. Two stained glass windows by Ward and Hughes were inserted in the chancel, and a window by Hardman & Co. was inserted in the south aisle. The cost of the works was £3,000 (equivalent to £279,162 in 2019) and the church re-opened on 26 August 1869
Organ
The pipe organ dates from 1896 when an instrument was installed by Brindley & Foster. There were subsequent modifications to this in 1951 by Henry Willis and 1986 by the Johnson Organ Company. Details of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register.
Bells
The tower contains a ring of 8 bells installed in 1972 by John Taylor of Loughborough.
The cache is a Traditional and quite straight forward, it is not in the church grounds, nor is it on the war memorial.
It is a black film pot with a magnet attached
If for some reason you can not find the cache please log a DNF and will sort it out as soon as possible. As a CO I am against throwdowns and should a throwdown be placed the log will be deleted without hesitation or contact.
Should you need to get in contact with me please do so via the messaging system on the app and I will normally respond quite quickly and help where I can, but there are times when I do have to do some work and also sleep.
Please look after any Geo pets or children with you as there is a busy road close by and please use stealth as it is a busy place most of the time.
