Geocache Description:

St Mark’s church, along with 5 farms, 7 almshouses, 19 cottages and a school, was founded in the 19th century by the Talbot sisters, Georgina and Mary Anne. The sisters, having been brought here on holiday, were struck by the poverty they saw, and set about revitalising the area which came to be known as Talbot Village. They are both buried in the churchyard.

In more recent years a new porch has been added to the church, and in 1986 a large modern extension was added to cope with the growing congregation, and in 1992 a new church hall.

The published co-ordinates will lead you to the grave of Georgina Talbot where you need to find various pieces of information.

1 Peter chapter = A

W 001° 5C. (A+C) (E-(2xA)) F

The check sum for all the individual digits, both given and calculated is 51

It is located a few minutes walk away in the woods. The terrain is fairly level, but uneven and some of the paths are narrow.

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
