The benefice of Chelford with Lower Withington and Marthall is made up of two parishes and three churches in the Diocese of Chester. The characterful church building at Marthall was consecrated by the Bishop of Chester on 1 November 1839 and building work was completed in 1841.
Following fundamental alterations to the fabric of the church in 1886, the building has remained much the same and currently enjoys services on a rota basis with other churches in the benefice. Further information about the history of the church and the parish can be found at https://ollertonwithmarthall.org.uk/all-saints-church, where this information has been taken with thanks.
This Church Micro is a multi-cache and so the cache is not hidden at the listed coordinates. If you visit the coordinates you will find on the north side of the church, a bench commemorating Pamela Jane Mason. Convert the dates on the plaque into the letters ABCD - EFGH and then you will be able to substitute them in the following formula to reveal the coordinates of the physical container:
N53° 16 ● C (C−D) (A+D+E) W002° 18 ● G (B−E) (G×2)
The final location is a short walk away and conveniently placed if you have used the parking waypoint in the listing.
