blueteddy: No change at the church and as it presumably is going to be turned into a house, have decided to archive it. Thanks to all the visitors of the years.

Geocache Description:


Church

This is an easy one stage multi, where you can find all the information required on a sign at the front of the church.

You are looking for a small lock box covered in black tape containing log book only. No trade items, although big enough for coins and trackables with small hitchhikers. Parking can be found near the above co-ordinates and the final gz is just a short stroll away. Unsuitable for buggies or wheelchairs.

The Little Church of St Francis, as it used to be called, was built in 1836. It was originally used as a combined school and church. The school building which was named 'Trinity Fontley School' was divided into 2 classrooms by a partitiion, which was moved back on Sundays to form a Mission Church. The pulpit was situated close to the door, and served as a receptacle for the dinners of children who came from a distance to the school. Since the 1870's it has been used only as a Church, as a new school was built further up the road. St Francis comes under the Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul in Fareham, although is quite secluded from it.

On the front of the Church is a noticeboard with details of the Father and Caretaker of St Francis. To locate the cache please answer the following questions.

1) The telephone number for Baptisms is 0C329 BF02A6

2) D = the number of letters in the Caretaker's Surname

3) The Caretaker's telephone number is 0E329 23997G

Final Co-ordinates: N50.AB.CDE W001.1E.FGC

The final location is not in the Church Grounds, but a short walk away along a footpath which can get muddy.


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