Geocache Description:

This is a replacement for the previous traditional cache at this church GC1VR01 Church Micro 786: All Saints, Steep which was muggled on a couple of occasions.

As of 7th December 2010 the cache has been moved again and the clue changed to reflect the new hide.

As of 21st May 2011 the source of the numbers for and the formulae itself have been amended as the required information was no longer available

This church dates from the 12th century, with many later additions and alterations. In 1207 it was a chapelry with its own curate under East Meon in the Winchester diocese, but in 1867 Steep became a parish in its own right and in 1927 became part of the newly formed diocese of Portsmouth.

The church is kept unlocked during daylight hours. It stands within a lovely well-kept churchyard with views to the South Downs. Many visitors remark on its peace and beauty. The same can be said of the interior of the church, where the Whistler window can be found, engraved in memory of the WW1 poet Edward Thomas, who lived and wrote in Steep for a time.

The published co-ordinates are for parking outside the church, which is also the start point for the Steep Marsh cache series, see Steep Marsh #1 : Pip (GC1VQZJ)

If anybody would like to expand to this series please do, we would just ask that you could let Sadexploration know first so he can keep track of the Church numbers and names to avoid duplication
