This is an off-set cache very near St Mary's Church Hartley Wintney. Second part is in the trees so GPS cover can be poor.
Follow the minor road on the south side of Hartley Wintney and the A30 towards Fleet. Past the parish church take the right fork and continue for about 1.5 miles. There is a lay-by with parking for several cars right outside the Church.
ABOUT THE CHURCH
St Mary's (Anglican), Church Lane, Hartley Wintney. The church itself is medieval and is a short distance outside of the present day village. It is now disused and maintained by the Redundant Churches Commission. However, the graveyard is in use. In the graveyard are the graves of two generals. One is General (Hangman) Hawley who had an unenviable reputation for severity to both the enemy and his own men. The other being Field Marshal Viscount Alanbrooke who was an advisor to Churchill in the Second World War.
St Mary’s was displaced as the parish church in 1870 and so was unspoiled by later restoration. Nave and chancel date from the 13th century, north and south transepts were added early in the 19th and the present flint tower was built in 1842. Early 19th century box pews and galleries fill the charming interior; the chancel fittings are earlier. There are good hatchments and a Royal Arms of 1705. Wall paintings have been revealed in parts of the church.
The Church itself is open alternate Sunday afternoons in the summer 2-4pm.
NOW TO THE CACHE....
Close to the stated co-ords, you should find a memorial bench for RSK who was born on AB.C.DE and died on F.G.HI.
The cache can be found at:-
N 51 AD. DD(H-I) W 0 (E+G)C.(A-F)EG
The final cache is a small Tupperware container with a log book and pencil and some usual things to swap.
ABOUT HARTLEY WINTNEY
It is recorded in the 13th century as Hertleye Wynteneye which means "the clearing in the forest where the deer graze by Winta's island". Winta was probably a Saxon who owned the island in the marshes where a priory of Cistercian nuns was founded in the middle of the 12th century.
The village has a typical wide Hampshire main street, lined with local businesses, shops, public houses and a Baptist church. It is particularly well-known for a proliferation of good antique shops. At the southern end is the village green and duckpond (with thatched duck house). The red-brick parish church of St John over looks the green and the elegant Mildmay oak trees beyond. The oaks were planted by Lady St John Mildmay in response to the call, in 1807, by Admiral Collingwood following the Battle of Trafalgar for landowners to plant oaks to provide timber for naval ships. The cricket green, arguably home of the oldest continually used cricket ground in the world, is behind the shops adjoining a second picturesque duckpond and Dutch-gabled farmhouse.`
