The published coordinates are for parking on the road verge at the entrance to the chapel grounds. Please take great care next to the road as the traffic travels along here very fast. The cache is not in the chapel grounds.
Waddesdon Hill Chapel was built by Francis Cox in 1792 to cater for the needs of Particular Baptists in the area. It fell into disuse during the middle of the twentieth century, and in 1986 was gifted to the Friends of Friendless Churches, an organisation set up to save historic but redundant places of worship.
In order to find the cache you need to enter the surrounding graveyard to collect certain information, but there is no need to enter the building. If you want to look round inside, details of how to get hold of the key are on the notice board.
The cache is at N51° 49.(D+G)(B-E)(D-C) W0° 54.(A-C)(FxG)(E-F) where
A = the number of fluer-de-lys along the top rail of the entrance gate
B = the number of pieces of wrought iron (excluding the bands holding them together) forming the scroll work in the centre of the entrance gate
C = the number of ridge tiles on the entrance porch
D = number of full length rainwater down pipes (gutter to ground) round the entire building
E = the number of panes of glass in each half of the sash windows on the south-east face of the building
F = the number of chimney stacks on the building
G = the number of chimney pots on the building
On your way to the cache, you should borrow, from the farm tractor, a tool which will help you retrieve the cache. Please remember to return it afterwards!
UPDATE 30-1-2015 - sadly continual interference (theft and deliberate damage of special equipment on several occasions) by some low-life has rendered the cache inoperable in its intended format. From now on, cachers will need to bring their own special equipment to retrieve the cache - a telescopic magnet with a reach of at least 20 inches. Please replace cap to prevent ingress of wildlife and plant debris.
Being a Letterbox Hybrid there is a self-inking stamp in the cache. This IS NOT a trade item, and must stay in the cache.
This cache is one of four Church Micro feeder caches for Church Micro 5778 ... Puttenham - St Mary. To find that cache you will need to retain value G from this cache
