Geocache Description:

Nice easy one.... A great place for a picnic, or to watch cricket on a summer Sunday afternoon - Kids will enjoy this one too.

The cache coords are your starting place where the parking is easy. Take a short walk north-westerly to find details of Maurice Furniss, Church Warden abcd - efgh (NB: NOT his gravestone! you might need to sit and think about this...)

Once you've found him, sit on a handy bench to decode the final coords using the following key:

u = g
v = a+e
w = f
x = d-a
y = e
z = b

Once finished, simply take a pleasant stroll to N52 16.uvw W0 06.xyz - where you'll discover nearby how young William chose to celebrate.

To log the cache - please email me the complete quotation from his namesake which can be found near the cache site: "...The quaint ??? in the ??? ??? , for lack of ??? are ???."

Here's a musical clue!

Hope you enjoyed discovering this peaceful spot - the rest of the village is also worth a look - take a camera! -

Historical note: In the church you can find a Royalist wall-plaque which came from the Sparrow home. There is also a photographic link with Antarctica and the doomed mission of Captain Scott and his party. You might also like to read the tiny plaque at the foot of a tree off to the right of the cache site...
