The cache is not at the church, get the info and work out the final coordinates...
Look at the nearby bench, there is a plaque. How many words on the second line? Consider this X.
The cache is at N52 21.(3X)(2X)(X) E000 00.(2X - 1)(2X)(2X + 1)
Now if you haven't already done it go to the memorial and work out the coordinates for the Village Sign! And when you've done that don't forget to go and say hello to Geoff/Jeff!
The ancient church of St Helen was built between the 13th and 15th centuries. Its walls were chiefly of stone and rubble, but parts of it were brick and the roof was tiled. The nave and aisle were covered with one continuous roof in 1807. On 24 April 1896 the tower fell and destroyed much of the church - the chancel, the aisle walls and the porch were all that survived. The old church was taken down and a new church was built on another site. The church had four bells, three from the 17th century and a later bell from the early 18th century. Three of the bells were removed in 1892, while the fourth fell with the tower, but was undamaged. The south porch is all that remains of the original structure.
The modern St Helens church was built in 1900 and is a Grade II listed building. The building of the new church incorporated rescued elements from the ancient church (including partially restored 13th and 14th century windows and some of the ancient stone). Colne is a chapelry annexed with Pidley.
