Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the above co-ordinates, but the answers to the clues are very close! This is a simple offset cache as part of the Church Micro series. You will need to find two dates and work out the co-ordinates of the final location. You are looking for a small magnetic nano. Given the final location, this should make your searching a little easier.

There has been a chapel here since around 1220. The current building dates back to around 1485 before Richmond was called Richmond. The only survivng part from that era is the Tower (the bottom two stages up to the clock chamber) and the West doorway. The starting co-ordinates should place you right outside the west doorway.

First date
When did William Hickey die? You'll find the answer close to the starting location. William Hickey was the founder of the Hickey Almshouses on Sheen Road (close to Seal's Training Cache - GC1P68J).

The year of William's death = ABCD

Second date
When did Dame Martha die? You will find the answer on the Cropley Monument found in the Church grounds.

The year of Martha's death = EFGH

The final location
You find the cache at:
51 27.(F-E)BH
000 18.A(D-F-C)(G-F)

If anybody would like to expand to this series please do, I would just ask that you could let Sadexploration know first so he can keep track of the Church numbers and names to avoid duplication
