How to find English christening original records

When I search for an English christening record I get back the following:

 

Document Information:

Source Reference RG-4 series no. 3326 GS Film Number 816592 Indexing Project (Batch) Number C07763-1 System Origin ODM Citing this Record "England Births and Christenings, 1538-1975", database, FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:JW6W-2D3 : 18 September 2020), Adna Hiscock Woodward, 1837.

 

Since the record is not currently linked to an image how do I see the original record?

 

I started my research in the 1980s and I established a standard of trying to identify original records using the identification system of the original records, because I do not want to tie my research to any specific web site. So my preferred style is "name of original book, page number". You can see examples of my preferred style in my record for this individual at https://www.jamescobban.net/FamilyTree/Person.php?idir=59802

    Short Answer: By selecting the "Browse the Film" link.

    .

    And, searching through all the 477 of those the "Images", until you find the one that relates to the "Christening" ("Primitive Methodist") of "Adna Hiscock WOODWARD" in 1837 in "Brinkworth, Wiltshire, England".

    .

    Pictorially:

    .

    Adna Hiscock Woodward _ Christening _ BROWSE Images.

    I hope this helps.

    ps:

    .

    It is actually located on Image number 57 being the last entry at the very bottom of the page.

    .

    Here is the link directly to that image:
