Geocache Description:


A headstone epitaph is a chance to sum up a person's life in just a few words. The words may praise the person who has died or serve to remind us of the strong emotional bond between the living and their loved ones. Walking along the green belt by Leamington cemetery, I spotted some interesting headstones and thought I'd draw your attention to them too.
 
The listed co-ordinates take you to the approximate location of two headstones. Both are close by. Look around you to find them. From the info on these two headstones, you can determine where the cache is hidden. 
 
South: Look for Noreen Harris's headstone, an 'expert dressmaker' who is now busy 'sewing for the angels' Subtract 35 from her age, and then add that number to the last three digits of south. Checksum = 8
 
East: Look for Ritchie Pickett's headstone. He was a well-known local musician. You dont have to count all the piano keys - just subtract five from the number of letters in the bottom line quote of his epitaph and add your total to the last three digits of the east. Checksum = 14
