Geocache Description:


This cache is one of 3 placed in Mitford in Northumberland; the church of St Mary Magdalene provides the answer to all the clues for the 3 caches so this is where you need to head for. The posted co-ordinates take you to a point near to the cache but to find the actual cache site you need to find the answer to the clues. Parking is available outside the church but we wouldn’t recommend going on a Sunday morning as it gets very busy. The caches can be linked together to form a walk of less than a mile. If you do the 3 together we’d suggest making A Stile-ish view the 2nd cache and starting with either of the other 2.

The Church of St Mary Magdalene was built in the late 12th century as the parish church of Mitford. Parts of the church were damaged in military attacks during the 13th and 14th centuries and subsequently rebuilt. Further restoration was carried out in the 19th century.

Colonel James Porter, who invented Newcastle Brown Ale in the 1920’s, lived in Morpeth for many years and was a warden at the church at the same time as John Fenwick, founder/owner of the famous store in Newcastle.

The church has had many famous vicars over the years including Cannon MacLeod who was one of the MacLeods of MacLeod, chiefs of the whole clan and Lords of Skye. He was an excellent photographer who recorded every day life in Mitford on glass slides during the forty years he was vicar.

To find the cache you need to find the time of the churches Summer Evensong in the 24hr clock format, these digits are ABC and D.

This will give you N 55° C9.7B6 W0D1° 44.2A5
