This is a 'recycled' church micro as there used to be one here but this was archived back in 2015, so we thought it was about time to resurrect it.
You are looking for a small screw top container covered in black tape. Stealth may be required...
There is not much information about the church available, but this is what we've been able to find online:
The church, built in Hursley Road on land given by Tankerville Chamberlayne of Cranbury Park, replaced an earlier corrugated iron church in Southampton Road. The dedication, on 4 October 1904, was by the Bishop of Winchester. The church cost £3,400 to build, and had seating for 230 people. The architect was G F Bodley. Originally it consisted only of the nave and a portion of the chancel. A stained-glass window, in memory of Mr Wynyard, came from the 'iron church'.
To find the cache...
At the stated coordinates you will find 9 words. Please note these are nothing to do with the nearby war memorial.
A = The number of letters in the 4th word.
B = The number of letters in the 3rd word.
C = The number of letters in the 8th word.
Now head to the second waypoint, N50°59.165 W001°23.135, where you are looking for the dates inscribed relating to a doctor, in the form XXXX-YYYY.
D = 7th digit.
E = 2nd digit.
F = 8th digit.
PLEASE NOTE - the cache was relocated in February 2026, and the calculation below updated.
The final cache can be found at N50° 59.B(D+E)F W001° 23.D(C*C)(A-B)
The final coordinates (all 15 digits) give a checksum of 48.
