Geocache Description:


This is a puzzle cache the box is not at the starting place. You need to find the answer to a simple question and then visit the church before being able to work out the final location.

In 1901 the Rev’d J Randolph was appointed Vicar and an iron church was erected and dedicated to St Saviour, near the present site in Stamshaw. In 1913 the foundation stone for a permanent church was laid and the permanent St Saviours Church, designed by local architects, A E Cogswell & Sons, was built in red brick by Samuel Salter at a cost of approximately, £7,000, and completed in 1914 as one of the Bishop of Winchester’s six churches.

Finding the cache:

From the parish website, on what page numbers does someone remark that "The mundane exterior and interior are dull, pedestrian and uninspiring, but then it was cheap!" ? Make the page numbers AB-C

At the front of the church, within the walled area and underneath the foundation stone, is a circular manhole cover, what is its diameter in mm? Make this DEF

The cache is a 5-minute walk away at N50° 4(A+B).(A-C)(E*F)(B+F) W1° 0(A-B).(E-B)(B+C+D)(B*D)
