This is the 6576th cache in the ever-expanding Church Micro Series, started by Sadexploration.

This offset multi is based on St Michael's Church in Aston Tirrold, Oxfordshire. The above coordinates take you to the church gate. 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:

•  It is known that a church existed here about 1080.
•  The Nave is Norman.
•  Evidence of earlier origin includes the doorway now set in the Victorian north wall which is probably Saxon.
•  The Chancel was rebuilt in the early 13th century.
•  The arcade and north aisle were added in 1863.
•  The original transept roof was replaced in 2000 using the design of the 13th century structure.
