Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the given co-ordinates. They are for parking at the site of The Church of the Good Shepard, Iping Marsh.


Church of the Good Shepard taken in 1978


The Burial ground, February 2011

The chapel, which was a small, low brick building with minimal decoration and mostly plain windows, was opened in 1878 in an area of the parish of Iping that was only enclosed in the late 18th Century. The chapel never widely used and it was closed in 1977. Some sources say that it was vandalised after it was closed whilst others say it closed because of it. In 1980 the chapel was declared redundant subsequently demolished in April 1981. The burial ground remains.

To find the cache you will need to explore the churchyard.

A = Find the heart shaped stone in memory of the Vales: What are treasured?

B=What species is the tree planted for the Millennium?

C= The brick War Memorial stands on the site of what?

D= The last letter (in the surname) of the 7th name on the memorial is?

E=The 1st letter of the dedication (? the daybreak) on the black and white gravestone at the back of the graveyard is?

Convert the initial letters of the words (or the letter the clue tells you) using the standard A=1, B=2 code. For two digit numbers, ignore the first digit so Z=26=6.

If you add up A, B, C, D & E you should get 16.

The co-ordinates for the cache are:

N51° 01.A(C+E)(C+E)

W000° 4(D+E).D(C+D)(B-C)
