Geocache Description:

This is one of a series of caches based on locations used for filming Doctor Who, be it the filming the latest series or any of the earlier ones. If you're near such a location and want to add to the series, just let Pezzini know so she can keep the numbers without duplicates and please keep to the naming convention of starting the series with "Who Was Here : ".


This is now one of three Who Was Here caches I have hidden in the local area, the other two being Who Was Here 25: Spearhead From Space, in Radford, Worcestershire, and Who Was Here 24: The Krotons, in Malvern, Worcestershire.

The Girl In The Fireplace was a 2006 Tenth Doctor story. The given co-ordinates are for Ragley Hall, where the ballroom scenes in the story were filmed.

The cache is of course not hidden at the given co-ordinates or on the grounds of Ragley Hall. Instead, I have hidden the cache on one of the roads that surround the grounds and therefore should be a quick cache and dash.

However, to locate the cache you must solve the following -

The Girl In The Fireplace is a famous French historical figure. Find out who she is and more importantly, discover her date of birth (DD/MM/YYYY=AB/CD/EFGH) and the date she died (DD/MM/YYYY=JK/LM/NOPQ).

The cache is hidden at N52 CD. KGM   W001. KQ. AAK
