Geocache Description:

The last resting place of the most famous clown in the UK - Coco the Clown.

There is plenty of space for parking along the road near the church.

Coco the Clown is a name given to various Circus clowns who traditionally wear 'Auguste' clown make-up. Technically, Coco is not a clown but an 'Auguste' - that is the foolish character who is always on the receiving end of buckets of water and custard pies. The Auguste often works with the cleverer white-faced 'clown' who always gets the better of him. The most famous bearer of the title Coco the Clown was Nicolai Poliakoff (or Poliakovs) (1900-1974).

The coordinates above take you his final resting place in the village of Woodnewton. Once you find his grave you will need to look at nearby graves to find the following information:

John Leonard died in 19AB, aged CD
William John Leonard died in 19EF, aged GH
James Walter Chambers died in 19JK, aged LM

You will find the final cache at the following coordinates:
N52° 3(E+G-M).(D-A-M)(J+K-G)(B+C-A)
W000° 2(C+B).(H-K-G)(L+G-B)(J-F)

The cache is a short walk away and is a small black lock'n'lock style container.
