Church Micro 14362...Halifax - St Hilda’s Traditional Geocache

The church is 400 yards from the old Wellesley Barracks that were situated on Gibbet Street. What is left of the barracks is now incorporated into the Halifax Academy school.

There were regular parades to the church from the Barracks, and according to members of the current congregation the church was a sea of red tunics. There are photographs in the church archives, but were not available to view. The cross was given to the church by the regiment, but no one can recall when this gift was made, the Barracks closed as a working barracks in 1961.

The Cross is currently standing in front of the High Altar. There is a memorial plaque to the left side of the church mounted on the wall commemorating the fallen of the parish. The Pulpit Also Commemorates those who gave their lives in the First World war.
