St Mary's Catholic Church, Guildford

Rydes Hill Preparatory School was founded by a religious order in 1945. A room was used as a Mass centre for local people, served by the school chaplain, and by the 1950s the congregation exceeded 100. Work on a permanent church within the school grounds started in June 1963 and it opened on 27 June 1964. It was rebuilt in 1978 after structural problems.

At the starting co-ordinates you'll see a commemorative stone.  On the plaque surrounding it, find the year the other St Mary's was built and call it ABCD and the date the stone was laid by the Bishop of Southwark EF/GH/IJKL

The cache can be found a short way from here at these co-ordinates: N51 1(H-I).DFG W0 3C.JF(K+E)
