Geocache Description:

Another in the "Heaven's Above" series. This church is unusual in that it is shared by the villages of Haselor and Walcote. As with others in the series you'll need to wander around the church yard looking for clues to get the final co-ordinates. Recommended parking is at N52 13.257 W001 49.138

This pretty rural church has no access by road but can be reached by a short walk along footpaths from the two villages, but it officially belongs to Haselor. It's well worth having a look inside the church as there's a tapestry there made by members of the Haslor WI to celebrate the 2000 Millenium.

Due to a change of use for the field the area around the cache can get very muddy so boots or wellingtons may be an advantage.

To find the cache you need to answer the following questions......

a - How old was George Roberts when he died
b - How old was Derek Bryan when he died
c - The sundial was erected in 191?
d - In what year did Rhoda, wife of Oliver, die
e - How old was Albert of Hoo Mill when he died
f - How many "Woodwards" died in The Great War
g - How old was the "Farmer of this place"
h - In what year did Emily Hitchman die
j - The total of the digits in the year that John O'Dell died (eg 1908 = 18)
k - How old was the lady who lived at 1 Cambridge Villa when she died
m - The total of the digits of the year that Nora Dalby was born
n - How old was Allen Young when he died

The final cache, which is a small clip-loc container containing the usual goodies, is located at..... N52 13.ABC W001 49.DEF Where
A=(b-m)/2
B= e-a-f
C=(j-c)+1
D=g-k
E=k-n
F=(d-h)/6

Congratulations to the Webbies for FTF. Thanks to AJIGeo for pointing out a spelling mistake which no-one else had mentioned and would have made the search rather more difficult!
