Geocache Description:


This multi cache will involve some research on the computer as well as visiting The Holy Trinity Churchyard, Headington Quarry, The Kilns and the C.S.Lewis Nature Reserve in that order.
The co-ordinates are for The Kilns. If you park in Headington Quarry and decide to tackle this on foot, you can make it circular. If you are on foot take great care crossing the eastern byepass.
Clive Staples Lewis was living at The Kilns when he wrote all of the Narnia books. Not surprisingly, the Nature Reserve played a large role in inspiring the land of Narnia. If you are lucky enough to visit the Reserve after a snowfall you will see why.
C.S.Lewis attended Holy Trinity Church in Headington Quarry for many years and always sat in the same pew. The Narnia window was installed opposite the pew where he sat. He also preached at the church. His grave is in the churchyard. Once in the churchyard you can follow the directions.

You need to answer the following questions and substitute then into the co-ordinates below:

A What is the thickness of the top slab of C S Lewis's grave(to the nearest inch)?
B How many vertical bars are on the front gate of The Kilns(not including the outside frame of the gate)?
C How many bricks are there along the front of the seat (Count the number, subtract 1 and divide by 3)?
D "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" was published in 19D0
E The Narnia Window was installed in Holy Trinity Church Headington Quarry in 199E
F C.S.Lewis first preached at Holy Trinity Church Headington Quarry on the 29th March 19F2
