Geocache Description:

UK Mega Essex 2015
A simple multi-cache church micro at St Peter, in Babraham.

St Peter is nestled in the countryside surrounding Babraham Hall/The Babraham Institute. It's not directly accessible from the road, instead you will have to walk down a short track, across the bridge, and then you will be in the church yard. You will notice a sign on the bridge that states that there is CCTV monitoring in the area, however this is more to make you aware rather than as warning. The CCTV covers the Babraham Institute and the range of the cameras cover parts of the church so although you are not being watched, it is possible that you may be seen entering the church yard. The actual cache container is therefore not at the church, but a short stroll from it after you have collected a couple of numbers from the churchyard.

You are looking for two gravestones on the right hand side of the path as you enter the church yard. You don't have to wander too far into the yard to get them, and the writing on both stones is very clear.

Find: MARY (Wife of George John Gay) and George Edward
A = Second digit of George's birth date: ?A??
B = Last digit of George's death date: ???B
C = First digit of age that Mary died: C7
D = Third digit of George's death date: ??D?
E = Number of the month that Mary died
F = D + 1

The final cache is at: N52 07.ABC, E000 12.DEF


Babraham church (mym) / CC BY-SA 2.0

The fine church building with its impressive square, stone tower dates back to the 12th century, however the remaining building as it stands today dates from the 13th and 15th centuries. The chancel is from about the mid 13th century, and the nave and aisles from the 15th century. The aisle windows look Victorian, but the clerestory windows are 15th century.

If anybody would like to expand this series please do, however first let sadexploration know first so he can keep track of the Church numbers and names to avoid duplication.
