Church Micro 10282... Shenley Church End Wherigo Cache

The Church of St Mary, Shenley Church End was first recorded in 1223, when the first Rector was recorded. Elements of the church date to the mid 12th century so there is no reason not so suppose the church was much earlier. The stonework of the church spans the Norman and Early English periods. The north aisle was built in the 1300's and the font dates from the 15th century. The bell tower, which houses 6 bells, was contructed in the 15th century and replaced the original tower which collapsed.

In late 2001 after running Geocaching.com for over a year, Jeremy Irish and Elias Alvord came up with an interesting challenge: How could they bring their favorite adventure games outdoors with GPS technology? After several years of experimentation and hard work they arrived at a solution. What if you could take video games outdoors? Wherigo is a platform that allows you to build location based GPS experiences on your computer and play them in the real world. Imagine playing Zork, Secret of Monkey Island or Myst, but in the park around the corner, or on the beach during your family vacation. Rather than clicking the mouse and selecting a location to move your character, you physically move from one location to the next to advance the story. Rather than searching for puzzle clues on a screen, you look for them in the real world. Using Wherigo, you can create interactive tours, adventure games and puzzles... the possibilities are endless.
