Geocache Description:

Having found several of the Staffordshire Church Gems caches, I have decided to add to the series. You are looking for a nano (so please bring your own pen), hidden just outside the church grounds.

St Giles Church has a long history,having been built on this site in 1721 (over a medieval church dating from the 13th century). The 1721 church was demolished in 1872 but the original tower was left standing, and the replacement church was built between 1873-76 onto the original tower.
The new church was designed by Sir Gilbert Scott, who also designed St. Thomas Church, Penkhull and Holy Trinity, Hartshill.
I have memories of the annual visit to St Giles to celebrate our School Founder's Day Service. The interior of the church is beautiful, and the grounds have some very interesting gravestones dating back many many years.
