Geocache Description:

C is for Cottingham

This is one of a series of 26 caches, one for each letter of the alphabet.
All caches in the series have a 1.2 Ltr Lock 'n' seal container as the cache.
(Except the final 'Z' which is a huge ammo box!)

Twenty one of the caches (including this one) can be done as a normal stand alone cache.
Five are Mystery caches and four of them cannot be done without completing some of the others.
The last one Z cannot be completed without completing all of the others.
In the Z final is a First To Find prize and for everyone who completes the series there is a certificate.
Inside the lid of all the Regular caches is a number which you need to make a note of to complete the series.

Also inside the lid are part of the coordinates you need to complete Alphanumeric Northants D.

The name 'Cottingham' has Anglo-Saxon origins, with ham meaning town or settlement and ing denoting a tribal leader's sons, dependants or followers. Cottingham therefore literally means 'homestead of Cotta's people', Cotta ('or Cotti') having been an Anglo Saxon chief. The same tribal name is found in Cottingwith (East Riding), Cottingley (West Riding) and Cottenham (Cambridgeshire). There is also another Cottingham in Yorkshire, with the same roots.
The spelling of the Cottingham has varied throughout history too. We find references to Cotingeham in the Domesday Book and Cotingham in the Anglo Saxon Chronicle. In the 1162 and 1166 Pipe Rolls there are references to Cottingeham and, in the 1343 Inquisitiones Post Mortem, Cotyngham and Cotynham.
Cottingham is a village in Northamptonshire in the English midlands that can trace its history back to Roman times. Cotingeham is listed in the Domesday Book and is also mentioned in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle. It is located north west of the town of Corby and is administered as part of that town's borough.

These are the rough positions of all the caches
