Church Micro 12010...Halse
The Church of St James the Less is a Grade 1 listed building, believed to have been constructed during the 12th Century. The church features classic architecture from this region and is constructed predominantly out of the local Triassic red sandstone, although unusually it does feature a few parts constructed out of golden Jurassic Ham Hill stone. If anybody has more information about the church then do let me know.

The cache
The headline coordinates are not for the final cache, but rather a bench that may be useful for doing the calculations.
To work out the final coordinates, you will need to visit the locations of the following pictures and answer a few questions.
-
1. The top left image shows an Ordnance Survey benchmark. Looking straight at the benchmark, place your finger on the bottom right corner of the stone and imagine a horizontal line running along the cement. Counting the stones sat on this line, how wide is the column? =A
-
2. Visit the site of the top right image. How old was the man when he died? = BC
-
3. Visit the site of the bottom left image. How many letters in the man's last name? = D
-
4. Visit the site of the bottom right image. The dad was E1 when he died and the son was 1E.
The final cache is a short walk away at: N51 02.AD(E/A), W003 13.D(C-B)E
The cache has moving parts, so please be careful when retrieving and replacing. Please leave as found. You will need tweezers.
