To find this cache you need to visit the church. Well standing outside the grounds is what is required. Then cross the road to the published coordinates where you will find a lamppost.
On the lamppost is a yellow strip. There are 3 characters on the strip - Pxx. The first is P. The second is a letter of the alphabet. Wherever that letter appears in the alphabet that is the number you can assign to A in the formula below eg A=1, B=2, C=3 etc
The third character is a number, this you can assign to B
Underneath that is DPCD where DP are actual letters but C and D are numbers.
Now you have A,B,C & D
E = C - D
F = C - G
G = (D - A) / 2
H = B x 2
Now just plug those numbers into the formula below and take a 5 minute walk.

- The church of St. John the Baptist consists of a chancel, nave, south aisle and modern south porch. The walls are of rubble with stone dressings and the roofs are covered with lead and tiles. The modern chancel is of brick.
- The Domesday survey of 1086 indicates two churches in St. Ives, one probably being the chapel of Woodhurst, but the oldest parts of the present building are the nave, built in the late 12th century and the south arcade in the middle 13th century. The aisle was rebuilt late in the 14th century, the timber bell-turret is probably early 17th century, and the chancel and south porch are early 20th century. The church was restored in 1871.
