St Mary's, Kingsclere (Postcode RG20 5PJ)
Directions from Newbury: follow the A339 out of Newbury towards Basingstoke.  After passing the Star Inn (appoximately 7 miles after leaving Newbury) you will reach a roundabout where you should turn right - towards the village centre.  Follow the road for approximately 1/2 a mile when you will see St Mary's on the right hand side.  There is no parking outside the church itself, but being in the centre of the village there is plenty of public car parking spaces in the vicinity.

From Basingstoke: follow the A339 out of Basingstoke towards Newbury.  After approximately 7 miles you will pass Sandford Springs golf club on your right hand side, and almost immediately, a left turn to Kingsclere.  Take this turning and follow Basingstoke Road all the way to the bottom by the fire station.  At this t-junction turn left and follow the road into the village where you will see the church in front of you.  There is no parking outside the church itself, but being in the centre of the village there is plenty of public car parking spaces in the vicinity.

From Basingstoke: follow the A339 out of Basingstoke towards Newbury.  After approximately 7 miles you will pass Sandford Springs golf club on your right hand side - then after about 500 metres you will see a cross roads.  Turn right up the hill towards Ashford Hill and Aldermaston.  Follow this road for about 2.5miles and turn left into "Ashford Hill Road".  You will see the school on the right hand side, after which you will see the turning for the church on the left.  There is plenty of parking outside St Paul's, and when we expect large numbers we often open the adjoining field to accomodate even more cars.
