Adel Church Multi-cache

This cache is temporarily unavailable.

maxkim: There is a temporary closure of the footpath due to a new bridge being built. Dog walkers still manage to gain access to the site but it does mean passing the path closed sign. I have been down there today and the cache itself is fine. MaxKim.

Geocache Description:


An easy cache which starts with a wonder round the lovely grounds of Adel Church, after the first DNF's I have chosen another grave stone to make it easier. Look for two larger monuments (both square) one is it one is next to the headstone you need.

To find the final co-ords you will need to find two pieces of information.

Find the grave of Francis Robinson who died aged 81, take his year of death from 2380 = N53 51.XXX

Find the grave of Richard Nussey who died aged 69 take the year of his death from 2128 = W1 35.YYY


The village of Adel on the outskirts of Leeds has a magnificent little church with ornate carvings around the door, under
the eaves and in the interior. The present fabric dates to the mid-1100s, but an earlier church may once have existed on
the site. A local folktale tells how the church was originally built at Blackhill, some distance away, but its presence so
offended the fairies that they moved the building to its present site in the night. This may represent an old memory of the
original church having been built of stone quarried from the rubble of the nearby Roman town.


Further information on the church may be found here.

The final cache is within an easy 5 minute walk of the church.
