West Midlands 2022
St. Mary's, Tutbury
The building dates from Norman times, with the 1160 West front still surviving. Used by the nearby priory for around half it's existence, it was partially demolished with the priory in 1538, when the Prior was demoted to be the local vicar. However since the south tower is likely 16th century, there was ongoing investment during that time, with further work being much later (in Victorian times).
This is a multicache: solve the clues, find the numbers, and then walk to the geocache on the edge of town, behind the castle.
Look at the brilliant war memorial.

On the side where the first letter is "W", W=how many men named 'John' died?
Now look for the bench dedicated to Natalie Ann Dawn, who died age 30:
N=the day of birth
A=the month of birth
D=the first digit of the century of her death
The geocache is a 350m walk away on the edge of town:
