The co-ordinates listed are for the questions. The cache is not in the grounds of the church. The church does not have a car park, and the lane through the village is narrow, but the Village Hall (way-pointed) which has a big car park, is only a short distance away.
The Church
St. Bartholomew's church stands in the middle of Redmarley village and is the second or even third building to occupy this site, the earliest reference being made to a church here in 1190 AD as mentioned in the Domesday Book. It is grade 2 listed with the base of the tower being the oldest part and probably dating back to the original structure of the 13th century. However, the majority of the building goes back only to 1855 when most of the then existing building was in serious disrepair, demolished and rebuilt (though there remain some interesting artefacts from earlier times).
The village of Redmarley D'Abitot was originally in Worcester but it was transferred to Gloucestershire in 1931, and the church subsequently became part of the Diocese of Gloucester in 1977.
The composer Edward Elgar was a frequent visitor and married a Redmarley girl.
