Geocache Description:

GC5ET4F, GC5ER6J, GC5ET43, GC5ERWW.

The 6575th cache in the ever-expanding Church Micro Series, started by Sadexploration.

This offset multi is based on The United Reformed Church (URC) in Aston Tirrold, Oxfordshire. The above coordinates take you to the church car park. The cache is not at this location, but find the answers to the questions below and you will soon have the coordinates for the cache.

Some notes of interest about the church:

•   The congregation was established in 1662, following the Acts of Parliament against Dissenters.
•   John Fuller, the squire in Aston Tirrold, was sympathetic to the Dissenting cause and in 1670 lent one of his barns in Aston Upthorpe to be used for services.
•   After the Act of Toleration in 1689, the meetings moved into a larger barn in Aston Tirrold.
•   In 1728, the sons of John Fuller, Richard and Joseph, built the present Aston Tirrold Dissenters' Church.
•   The church is small, measuring only 26 x 26 feet internally.
•   The former church hall became The Centre for Reflection in 1998 - used for retreats, workshops, talks...
