Kett Multi-Cache
Norfolk Fox: Unfortunately I have had to disable as there are Engineering Works - right at GZ!!! Network Rail will not give me even an approximate finish date - which looks like quite a while! I will check monthly so that I can restore the Cache asap. Thank you for your patience.

Above co-ordinates are NOT the final cache site but will help you with clues. The answers to the co-ordinate clues can be found by visiting Norwich Castle & Wymondham Abbey - two key venues surrounding the Kett Rebellion in 1549. There should be no need to enter the buildings (unless you wish to do so.) Answers to the clues may also be found from other sources! Robert Kett was born late in the 15th Century in Wymondham. Landowners in 1549 started to enclose common land. For hundreds of years this land had been used by all the people who lived in villages. Soon angry villagers began tearing down the hedges. Kett organised a march on Norwich which was originally peaceful but turned nasty when the Mayor of Norwich refused entry to the 16,000 followers into the City. In a fight against King Edward VI`s army outside of the City an estimated 3,000 followers of Robert Kett were killed in battle. Robert Kett was captured and hanged at Norwich Castle, his brother was hanged from the tower at Wymondham Abbey. Final cache located at N52.AA.BCC, E001.DE.FAG. Wymondham Abbey was founded in the year 1FDE. The Abbey was suppressed by Henry VIII in 15A8. Robert Kett was born in 1GB2. The well at Norwich Castle is 3C metres deep.
