Geocache Description:


The 6456th cache in the ever-expanding Church Micro Series, started by Sadexploration.

This short multi takes you around the churchyard of St Andrew's in the Oxfordshire village of East Hagbourne. 

Saint Andrew's parish includes the villages of East Hagbourne and West Hagbourne and the hamlet of Cosote. Worshippers from Didcot also frequent the church.

The current tower was built in the 15th century and features a very unusual sanctus bellcote, with its original bell remaining in daily use. It is well worth a look up!

Now for the cache....

The given coordinates take you to a bench in memory of Michael Bishop. Please record the dates as 19AB-20CD.  On the left hand side of the text is a clearly recognisable object.  How many letters are there in its name, please record as E. 

Now make your way around the church and find the waypointed granite cross. The cross commemorates the lives of 2 men, William Robert Baker and Charles Talbot Baker. William died aged FG years and Charles died aged HJ years.  

The cache can be found at: 

N51 3[J-E].A[J/B][A-B] W001 1[D-E].[C+H][G-C]F

Checksum for the coordinates is 42.
