Geocache Description:

St. Stephen's Church was built in 1841, originally consisting only of the present nave, and began life as St. Stephen's Chapel within the Parish of Frensham. A tower was incorporated in the planning, and nave and tower were completed in 1846 being consecrated on 24th March by the Rt. Rev. C. R. Sumner, Bishop of Winchester.

The church continued to grow by degrees. In 1879 the south porch was built, and in 1884 Rev. George Purdue began his twenty years of ministry to the parish. On 10th September 1902 a faculty was granted for the erection of' a baptistery to the south of the tower and choir-vestry to the north of it. Finally, in 1909-10 the north aisle (Lady Chapel) was built, donated by Mrs Turner in memory of her husband Robert Turner, former Churchwarden. The lady chapel was consecrated in 1917.

In 1927, the division of the Diocese of Winchester occurred and Shottermill Parish became incorporated into the Diocese of Guildford. Today, the Parish is a constituent of the Godalming Deanery, in the Archdeaconry of Surrey, in the Diocese of Guildford.

To get the final coordinates, you'll have to walk across the small chuch yard and pick up some information:

James Simmons died AB March 190C

P. Edgeller, the military labour corps died 1D August 1918

Edward S. Walker died 17 April 19E9

Now you can calculate the final coordinates: N51 05.(D-B)(B+E)2*C W000 44.(C-A)EC

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. There is also a Church Micro Stats page found via the Bookmark list.
