Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the published co-ordinates.  They take you to a noticeboard where you will need to collect some information.

 

St Nicholas Church, in the parish of Allington, is a modern building built in 1974.  It replaced the much earlier church of Allington St Laurence, located close to Allington Castle, which closed in 1969 and has now been converted to a private residence.  St Laurence functioned largely as a chaplery for the residents of Allington Castle and was infamous for the 17th and 18th century practice of illegal marriage without banns.

 

The two churches are linked by a single bell, which was removed from St Laurence in 1972 and rehung at St Nicholas in 1974.  The 18” diameter bell was cast in 1866 by Mears & Stainbank, London and is currently operated electronically.

 

At the given co-ordinates you will find a noticeboard.  Look at the noticeboard to find the following information:

 

A = Number of crosses on the noticeboard

B = Number of words at the top of the noticeboard

C = Number of letters in the words at the top of the noticeboard

D = Number of windows in the noticeboard

E = Number of locks on the noticeboard

F = Number of hinges on the noticeboard

 

Use these numbers to find the final co-ordinates, when

 

N 51’    [C] . [B + F]  [F - (D + E)]  [D x E]

E 000’  [B + C + E + F] . [(A + D) x B]  [B + E]  [A + D + E]

 

If anybody would like to expand to this series please do, I would just ask that you could let Sadexploration know first at churchmicro@gmail.com so he can keep track of the Church numbers and names to avoid duplication.

There is also a Church Micro Stats & Information page found via the Bookmark list
