Geocache Description:

There is limited parking at the published co-ordinates. Verge side parking is also available at
N 51° 03.224 W 001° 16.720
which is my recommendation, as it will give you a circular walk of approx 1.5 miles along a quiet country road through the village to the church, and back along a footpath which catches the afternoon sun and offers views of Winchester across the fields.



The tiny C12 church sits on the outskirts of Chilcomb village on the edge of the South Downs.
If you are lucky enough to find the door to the church open when you visit there are welcoming notices, and information about various points of interest inside.




To find the cache - From the parking place, follow the road east and south past the village to
N51 02.906   W001 16.658

There you will find a gate to the church, dedicated to the memory of Dennis Moffatt by the friends of St Andrews, the dates on the gate are

ABCD - EFGH

Pass through the gate to the west of the porch. On the wall is a plaque recalling the life here of Tarn and Lucy Bassett, a symbol in each corner representing important things in their lives.
What is in the bottom left hand side (side nearest the main part of the church building)?

Rose?                   J = 0
Elephant?             J = 2 
Chrysanthemum? J = 4

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
