This is a multistage Letterbox cache.

To find the cache you will need to start near the church lych gate. Navigate your way around the church yard anti-clockwise, gathering the clues along the way. I have chosen stones that should be quite obvious and you shouldn't need to leave the main grass path to spot them, so no need to go trampling all over the graves.

Find the grave of Leonard Soutter.
The first digit of his age when he died = A.
The number of the month his wife died multiplied by the second digit of her age when she died = B.

Find the the grave of Nicolas Stephens.
The number of digits in his middle name minus one = C.
Add the last two digits of the year he was born then subtract the last digit of the year he died = D.

Find the grave of Andrew the Trawler Skipper.
The second digit of the day he was born on = E.
The the two digits in the day he died added together = F.

Finally, find the grave of Daz Baker.
How many horses can be seen on his gravestone = G.
The second digit of his age when he died = H

The cache can be located at N50 5A.BCD W000 2E.FGH.

The cache is located a short walk from the church, it can get very busy around the area at school drop off and pick up times so you might want to avoid trying this cache then. It does include a small rubber stamp, please do not remove this from the cache. You will need to bring your own pen but having done all that maths I guess you would have on anyway!
