Geocache Description:


This cache is part of a series of caches which are placed at or near village halls and community centres. For details and statistics visit the Village Hall Series website Click here

The Thameside villlage of Whitchurch lies on the Oxfordshire side of the river and contains many lovely old buildings.  The village hall in Manor Road is not one of them, being built in the 20th Century. It provides a venue for many village activities, however.  You can read more about the village of Whitchurch-on-Thames here.

Now for the cache. Please note the details for finding the cache were changed on 19 April 2021. Please ignore earlier formula.

Let A = the number of letters in the first word
