Geocache Description:


St Andrews church is situated in Haughton-le-Skerne and is the oldest church in Darlington, dating back to the 12th century.

The above co-ordinates are not the cache location, they are for one of the clues you will have to work out.

The cache is at N 54 AB CDE, W 001 FG HJK.

B = at both of the north entrances to the church yard you will find white signs; St Andrews church is circa 11B5.

A = at the east entrance to the church yard there is another sign;
Wednesdays Holy communion is at 9:A0.

F, C = Enter the church yard from the east entrance, on the left hand side of the path you will find a coffin shaped interment; John Shreaton died September C3 18F8 aged 44

H = at the above co-ordinates, you will find a head stone adorned with castle tops: Harrington died 28th December 182H. His daughter Mary died 26 November 1834 aged 35.

G, J = Follow the path a bit further on the right before the bench is a head stone up against the church wall; The Honourable and reverend Richard Byron was the rector from 1J95 to the 5th of November 181G.

E, K = Past the west end of the church you will find 2 cross shaped head stones close together; John Allan was born 21st of December 1K0E and died 20th of July 1960.

D = Go down the path and turn right, you will see a large grave stone that is being propped up; John Swinbank's wife was D2 when she died.

You can now insert the numbers you have found to get the co-ordinates for the cache GZ.

Please use stealth as children are quite often in or around the church yard. Sunday mornings aren't recommended either.

Don't forget a pen and note pad!

If anybody would like to expand on this series please do so. Could you please let sadexploration know first so he can keep track of the Church numbers and names to
