Geocache Description:

This cache is part of a series around Woodthorpe Grange Park . The caches themselves are based on J.K Rowling's legendary Harry Potter books. There are 7 in total in this series and each cache is named after one of the seven horcruxs found in books. A Horcrux is an object used to store part of a person's soul so that in the event that the body of the user who creates the Horcrux is destroyed, the user still has a means of surviving after death.

Tom Riddle created this horcruxe created using a ring owned by his maternal grandfather, Marvolo Gaunt, during the summer before his fifth year as a student at Hogwarts, when he was fifteen years old. He casts the spell after murdering his muggle father. The ring was destroyed by Albus Dumbledore. It is revealed Riddle had taken the gold ring, which has a black stone inscribed with a magical symbol, from his uncle Morfin Gaunt, whom he had framed for the murder of his father and grandparents by altering his uncle's memories. Riddle wears the ring while still a student at Hogwarts, but eventually hides it in the house where the Gaunt family had lived. It remains hidden under the floorboards, placed in a golden box, and protected by several enchantments, until Dumbledore finds it. Dumbledore destroys the first Horcrux with Godric Gryffindor's sword, though he is mortally injured by the ring's curses after putting the ring on his finger. The injury leaves his right hand permanently disfigured. The damaged ring is kept for a time on a table in the Headmaster's office.

This cache contains a log book and a pencil. Please replace cache where you found it.

Woodthorpe Grange is an impressive large green space which creates a lovely walk around the grounds with many different areas and a wide variety of facilities including Pitch and Putt, Tropical House, formal gardens and a child’s playground with a café area.
