WELCOME TO A V CORP CACHE.
This cache is placed in partnership with the Almshouses Series team, and I've found quite a fair few of those caches so I'm glad to add to this ever-growing series.
I was originally going to add this cache as part of my nearby mystery series V SERIES II, but I thought it would be great to add to this series instead.
The Bocking Almshouses
The Bocking Almshouses owe their foundation to John Doreward, a prominent local figure. In 1440, he established an almshouse known as the Maison Dieu (or "God’s House") in the town of Bocking to pray for the soul of his father and to serve charitable purposes.
Samuel Lewis’s Topographical Dictionary of England (1848) confirms that the almshouse was endowed by license of Henry VI through John Doreward and his chantry in the parish church, although much of its original revenue was likely lost during the Dissolution of the Monasteries.
Today, the Royal Almshouses serve as supported accommodation for residents of Bocking in need. They are managed to offer not only housing but also community outings, including weekly social activities like day trips, quizzes, cards, bingo, and dinners.
The Puzzle:
For the puzzle, first look at the white building on the left. It has a year up above the window. Make this year ABCD.
Look at the Almshouses again, take note of the amount of windows facing the street. Make this number EF.
Finally, take note of the amount of doors facing the street from the Almshouses. Make this number G.
Then solve for the final puzzle:
N51 53.(B-1)D(E+5)
E000 33.G(F-1)(C+5)
You can now enjoy a little walk to the countryside!
