Continuing the Church Micro series started and managed by
Sadexploration with All Saints Church in Barrington, Cambridgeshire. More of a nano than a micro...
I have amended the below out of html as it was too challenging.
A slightly more complicated take on the standard Church Micro - the posted co-ordinates are not for the cache but for the entry into the churchyard. Parking is available opposite the entrance to the church. More info below.
All Saints Barrington isn’t an ostentatious church, but it is big, and (unusually for big churches in this bit of the world) is substantially pre-Perpendicular. It is also built almost entirely from stone; a reflection of the fact that Barrington was fortunate enough to possess its own source of stone.
The age of the church isn’t immediately obvious from outside. The base of the tower is 13th century, but the bits that catch the eye – the bell-openings and the battlements –are all later. The clerestory is 14th century, and elaborately perpendicular – the windows are all framed with carved stonework and set into pristinely plastered walls. The south porch is likewise a typical grand affair, with a large archway and a cavernous space. Its east wall abuts a Victorian vestry (it’s a very odd location for a vestry) and there was once a chapel in the same place, so perhaps they reused the foundations. Anyway, the general impression of the exterior is of a cheery perpendicular jumble, long and strung out like its village.
You will need to do a little detective work and some maths to find the actual cache. Firstly you need to find the following information within the graveyard of All Saints:
The date that Emily Ann Harper passed away = AB March 19CD
Year in which Constance Margaret Douglas was born – KLMN
The number of days that Peter Rothwell lived for = EFGHI
Number of years that Nick Crawley worked for the St John’s Ambulance – J
-------------------
The cache can be found at:
North (D)(C) (I)(J+F).(B-A)(L)(N)
East (E-N) (F-G)(E).(C+K)(M)(B-K)
The cache is not on church property.

If anybody would like to expand to this series please do, I would just ask that you could let Sadexploration know first so he can keep track of the Church numbers
