This is a replacement for R1 Church. This is a new page as the original was archived. More information about the series can be found at B1 - The Hide GC1NR6V
A good parking location and starting point would be at:
N51° 55.340 W000° 07.306
or if this car park area is busy, try somewhere around:
N51° 55.297 W000° 07.163
It would be a good idea to bring your Wellington boots as parts of the route can get quite muddy, especially during the winter months. Also, bring some bread with you to feed the ducks at 'The Key' coordinates - they will appreciate it, you can also wash your wellies in the stream/ford when you've finished.
Please also try to stick to the paths/edges of fields and not wander onto any ploughed or cropped fields which could damage any crops.

As I didn’t want to make this too easy (or too difficult), so I have devised a little work for you to do, it’s very easy so get the kids to work out the maths. You will need to find a key.
The key can be found at: N51° 55.341 W000° 07.317
THIS IS THE KEY YOU WILL NEED, TO FIND ALL OF THE CACHES IN THE SERIES
At this location you will find a fire hydrant marker plate/sign. I think you know what I am talking about, it’s has a yellow background with a big letter H and various numbers on it.
At the top of the marker sign there are five numbers denoted as A,B,C,D,E.
Between the H at the top there are two numbers denoted as F,G.
Between the H at the bottom there is one number denoted as H.
For your information, the number at the top of the marker plate is merely a reference ID number. The number between the top of the H show the water main pipe diameter feeding the hydrant. The number between the bottom of the H is the distance from the marker plate to the hydrant.

The parish church of St Mary the Virgin is one of the oldest village churches in Hertfordshire, with a Saxon wall and rare chalk rood (crucifix) dating back to the middle 10th century. St Mary’s also houses a fine Purbeck marble effigy, most probably of William de Lanvalei, one of the Magna Carta barons. (St Mary's Church - Walkern Parish Council)
