The parish church of St Michael and All Angels in Bricklehampton, Worcestershire. This hamlet has the longest place name in England without a letter repeated - please don't write in if you find one longer!
The nave is Norman with a 12th century south doorway and font. The whole was restored in 1875 by Henry Woodyer in a typical Victorian fashion which included the installation of windows by noted stained glass suppliers, Kempe and Hardman. The building is Grade II listed.
The village has a population of about 200. On the south side is Bricklehampton Hall, a large country house built in the Italianate style in 1848 and now a care home. There has been little modern building.
The cache is a small, camouflaged, clip-top box with room for a trackable. Watch out for the steps in the churchyard which are very slippy in the wet. Parking is available at the roadside outside the church.
