Longham United Reform Church (URC) was built in 1841 in the
colonial style. The building often reminds people of a New England
Church. The church is often referred to as the Church on the
Corner, as it is built on the junction of three busy roads north of
the Bournemouth and Poole connurbation.
The coordinates given are for the information board in the
church grounds. To find the cache you will need to seek the
gravestone of Thomas Kent Sutton and his wife Mary Nalder. You will
need to gather the following pieces of information.
The month Mary Nalder died = A
The day Thomas Kent Sutton died =B
The year of Thomas Kent Sutton's death = CDE1
The cache is at :
N50 47.EAD
W 001 54.B(B+C)B
There is enough parking near the church, and the cache is a
short walk away (about 1/3 of a mile) down a bridleway. The church
is located at a very busy road junction, so please keep an eye on
any little ones you might have with you. You are looking for a
small tupperware box, containing a logbook, and some goodies (!)
for the first to find.
For those using Google Maps/Earth, the area of
the cache has changed somewhat since the satellite image was taken
due to the building of Longham Lakes
If anyone would like to expand this
series please do. We would just ask that you contact sadexploration
first so that he can keep track of the church numbers and names and
to avoid duplication.
