Geocache Description:

This is one of a series of caches in and around the town of Wallingford. The well known crime writer Agatha Christie owned a house in the town and spent her later years there. All the caches in this series are named after her books.

To find this cache you will need to visit three places in the centre of Wallingford and find the answers to three questions.

The cache is at N51 35.RST W001 07.XYZ
Where

R = K
S = A+B
T = J+H
X = C
Y = F-D+E
Z = A-J

The above coordinates are for a good place to park (free parking for 2 hours so lots of time to do the cache and explore the shops!) and for one of the questions

Questions:

1. In what year was the Corn Exchange erected? (Agatha visited this theatre on several occasions and was President of the Sinodun Players from 1951-1976) ABCD
2. What is the date on the ‘Free Library and Literary Institute’? EFGH
3. How many steps on the spiral staircase (excluding the landings) outside this former cinema? JK

From October 2018 the cache is now a nano
