All of the caches start at the church where you need to find the answers to a couple of questions to allow you to find the final cache position, and none are intended to be particularly difficult (I would prefer you to find the caches) or are more than 1/2 a kilometre from the church.
This is the thirty-seventh in the series and starts at the delightful little church of St. Bridget in the hamlet of Llansantffraed which consists of basically a hotel and a farm only - a total of only 220 acres and with a population of only 22!! The co-ords are for the church gate where there is room for one or two cars. Best not do this after dark due to the nearby hotel I would have thought. Access is only via the small approach road from the south which comes off of the Abergavenny to Usk road at N51 46.874 W002 56.039, marked as an unnamed road/track on mapping (see waypoint).
The church is dedicated as mentioned to St. Bridget who was a nun from Ireland who came to Wales following a quarrel with her father and was known as a Mother Theresa type figure.
The church itself stood in the grounds of the Llansantffraed estate and was the family church for many years to the families that occupied Llansantfraed, one of which being the Herbert family of which there are several graves in the churchyard. The building dates from Norman times but there have been the usual developments and modernisation's over the years.
Inside the church is the best part though where there is a 12th century font and some unique alabaster panels set into the walls either side of the east window, which show the burial and resurrection of Jesus. There is also a delicate and interesting rood screen and a small piscina, for pouring away water used in Mass, on the south wall of the chancel.
To find the whereabouts of the final cache location look for the answers to the questions below and replace the letters for the appropriate numbers in the co-ords at the bottom. So here we go:
Head inside the porch and look up inside the roof, how many stone arches are there? This is A
Head to round to the left (north) of the building and you will see two sets of windows, but how many windows in total here? B
Continue to the far end of the building and you will see a set of cross-marked graves within a black metal-railed area? How many graves/crosses? This is C.
Continue round the building and you will the base of the very old churchyard cross, but how many of the vertical octagonal stone pieces remain standing? D
Nearby you will see an area of light-coloured pebble grave area, with one large gravestone (dedicated to Elizabeth Rebecca Nares) on one side. How many small headstones on the other side of the pebbled area? E
How many other doors are there into the church apart from the main one in the porch? F.
So replace your answers in this co-ord and off you go to get the cache! Final position N 51° 4(A+E).F(B-E)A W 002° 5(D+B).FEC
