Geocache Description:

A mystery cache, at the village of Upper Sheringham

The above co-ordinates will lead you to the church of All Saints in Upper Sheringham, from here you should be able to answer all the questions to fill in the missing digits to find the cache's location. Parking in the village is limited, please respect the local residents. Once you have the co-ordinates for the cache, a small walk of 5-10 min's awaits you. The cache is a small plastic container.

Legend has it that a mermaid tried to enter the church and was turned away by the church beadle half way through the church service, his reason being that as a mermaid she had no soul. The mermaid waited outside until a suitable time then crept back in and sat at the end of the pew closest to the door, where she can still be found to this day.
