Geocache Description:


A simple one-stage multi-cache with a short walk to the final hide - a magnetic nano.

Denville Hall is used as a retirement home for professional actors, actresses and other theatrical professions. The present building incorporates part of a 16th-century house, which was substantially rebuilt in 1851 and later considerably extended after becoming a retirement home in 1926. Many well-known British actors and actresses have resided there.

Alfred Denville, impresario, actor-manager and MP, bought the hall in 1925 and dedicated it to the acting profession in memory of his son Jack, who had died at the age of 26 after onstage complications with re-aggravated World War I injuries. He renamed the building Denville Hall and created a charity in the same name. It was opened formally as a rest home in July 1926 by Princess Louise the then Princess Royal. A further remodelling and expansion project with landscaping, by Acanthus LW Architects, was completed in 2004.

Wiki lists off many of the well known people who have spent their retirements here, including Richard Attenborough, Maurice Denham, Dulcie Gray, Robert Hardy, Peggy Mount, Andrew Sachs and Peter Sallis.

The co-ordinates will take you to the gates of Denville Hall. Here you will find a postbox. Take note of the postbox number. It consists of two letters and four numbers. The final cache can be found at:

a = First number - second number

b = First number + second number

c = Second number + third number + fourth number

d = Second number + third number

e = First number - second number - third number - fourth number

f = First number
