Geocache Description:


Excited as this is the 1st Geocache I have placed :).

You are looking for a small magnetic cache, just enough room to contain log book & pen/pencil.

Placed along a busy alleyway near "Wordsley Cross" between the "Old Cat Inn" pub & "Wordsley, Holy Trinity Church" (my sister got married here).

Quite a high muggled area, due to dog walkers & a being a 'shortcut', Stealth may be required at times.

This church is the Holy Trinity Church in Wordsley which was consecrated in 1831, replacing St. Mary. Construction had begun 1828 following the donation of land from the Earl of Dudley. The building was designed by architect Lewis Vulliamy. This replaced the ancient parish church at Kingswinford which was reopened in 1846, initially as a chapel of ease.

Much of the historic fabric of the village has been subject to demolition over the decades. Victorian terraced housing, shops and glassworker cottages - now so valued elsewhere - were replaced en masse by large housing estates built either in the 1960s modernist style or the 1990s Barratt style. Village buildings that were formerly highly notable fine relics of the Victorian and Edwardian era, such as the Wordsley Hospital and the Wordsley School of Art, have recently been demolished or redeveloped.
