Geocache Description:


 

This cache is part of a series of caches which are placed at or near village halls and community centres. For details and statistics visit the Village Hall Series website Click here

 

 

*** THE HALL ***
The original Henry Warren Memorial Hall  was  sited about 500m away from the current building, further down in the village. It was  built in the early 1900s and donated to the residents of Nyewood in memory of Commander Henry Warren R.N. of Nyewood House by his wife Louisa after his death in 1926. 



When the original hall fell into disrepair it was decided that renovating it was not viable and so a new hall, with much better facilities, was built on the current site and opened in December 2022.

 

*** THE CACHE ***

Note the cache is NOT hidden at the published co-ordinates, which is the location of the memorial bench in Option 1 below, just behind the village hall.

To find the cache find the values for ABCD. In order to cater for maintenance or  uncooperative muggles you can find ABCD in one of two ways:

Option 1:

At the pubished co-ordinates you will find an old iron commemorative bench, on the plaque there is one year, this is ABCD.

(Note, C is a bit ambiguous so check it carefully and if you're unsure between 2 values use the lowest.)

 

Option 2:

In the green space behind the hall (left hand side when looking from the road) is a tree planted by Charlotte L.V. Warren, take the first year - this is ABXZ
C=Z-A-A
D=X-A.

 

 

Now you have ABCD you can find the container at these co-ordinates


N50 59.(C+A+A)(B-D-A-A)A W000 51.(B-D)(C+A)(D-A)
 

Checksum of all 15 digits is 43
