Fun-gal caching: Smallest church in England

Saturday, 10 June 2017

Smallest church in England

Today I visited Church Micro 6009 (GC4TD8N) near Malmesbury in Wiltshire. Now "micro" normally refers to the size of the cache container but today it was a whopper. The church itself however really was micro! It was the size of one small room but still had most of the trimmings.

It has one pew of four seats and standing room for six at the back! Amazingly it has one service every year for Rogationtide in spring.

A church has been here for centuries and whilst the current owners keep it as a church, the previous ones kept turkeys in it!

It has a very small graveyard and the last burial was in 1904. In 1986 this building became a Grade II listed structure.
