New Hedges Village Hall, 2018

New Hedges Village Hall started its life in the 1850s as the village school. Over 1,000 children attended during the years up until its closure in 1961. It was then used as a Sunday school until 1980. 1982 saw it being converted into the Village Hall. The playing field was added in 2001 and the main hall was extended in 2007 to what you see now.

This is a simple, two-stage multi.
The coordinates take you to front of the hall, where a plaque sits underneath the clock.
Answer the following questions, and plug the numbers in the formula to find the coordinates for the final.

Final : N51° 41.ABC W004° 42.DEF

A - 3rd number in the year of creation
B - Number of letters in the Councillor's Christian name
C - Number of letters in the Councillor's Surname
D - Add digits of bottom date up
E - 2nd number in the year of creation minus 1
F - The number of lines before the words "Community Council"

You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
