Geocache Description:



The church of St. Barnabas was erected of stone and flint in 1866; the former parish church was a very small building at Netherton, but it was entirely demolished when the Faccombe church was finished, only the font being retained. The present building has a chancel 17 ft. 6 in. by 15 ft. 6 in. with a north vestry, nave 52 ft. by 21 ft. 2 in., south porch and a more recently completed tower 9 ft. square inside. The style is that of the 14th century. The tower is of two stages; the bell-chamber is lighted to the south by a two-light traceried window and on the other three sides by quatrefoils. In it hang two modern bells.

The church is one of four churches of the United Benefice of Hurstbourne Tarrant where the Vicar lives.


Parking by the church, you are looking for a small disguised container and you will need to bring your own pen.


The above coordinates are for the Lych Gate. Find the date on the memorial plaque and let the year be ABCD

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.
