The actual cache is located a short distance away, but you need to pick up some clues to get the full co-ordinates, due to complaints it is now much easier......however if you still don't like having to find clues perhaps this isn't a cache for you!
You need to find a plaque that tells you about St. Lawrence and his books. On it you will find a date ??? AD, name the digits ABC in the order that they appear, and use the formula below to get the co-ords.
N 51 56.(A+1)(B-5)(C-2) E 001 06.(A+5)(B+1)(C-1)
The Church is normally unlocked during daylight hours, so please go and have a look round.
