History:
The church of St. Thomas the Apostle stands outside the original city walls of Exeter and is separated from the historic limits of the city by the River Exe, with the parish only being incorporated into the then 'municiple borough' of Exeter in 1900.
The current church dates from 1657 and is built from local red sandstone, the previous church having been destroyed by burning in 1845 during the Civil War by the Royalist defenders of the city, as a method of preventing Parliamentary troops from occupying the structure. At the time of the re-buidling, the name was changed from St. Thomas the Martyr to the current name. An arcade does survive from the earlier 1412 building. The registers of baptisms and burials date from 1554 and marriages from 1577.
The clues:
The headline coordinates will take you to a small path outside the grounds of the church. There is an oddly-placed grave facing the path, positioned against the wall of the church.
A = The number of consonants in the person's first name
B = The number of vowels in the person's first name
Now make your way into the churchyard and head to the far end away from the church. Look for the grave of Mr and Mrs Crump.
Mr Crump died on July Cth 190D and Mrs Crump died on November Eth 1916
Finally head to the rear of the church (the side by the car park of the modern hall). There are two memorials built into the wall of the church.
The elliptical memorial shows that Hannah Lewis died in October 17th 17FF, aged only G months
The cache:
The cache can then be found at:
N 50° (C x E) . (A + F) (B x F) [ZERO]
W 003° A B . E (D - C) (G - D)
The final locaton is a short walk away.
The cache is in a busy area and some stealth will be needed. Some times of day will be better than others!
