Church Micro 4452...Needham Market Old Methodist Multi-cache

This cache has been archived.

MaPaSon81: I've decided to archive this.
I've spent too long walking around Needham trying to find an appropriate hiding place but there's nothing that fits the bill, only benches or road signs in high muggle areas.
I've heard it said that you should never hide a cache for the sake of hiding a cache and that's exactly what this cache had become.
Thanks to all who took the time to find it.

Records indicate a church on this site in 1830, and a stone on the front plinth indicates that it was a Wesleyan Methodist Church. Though details are sketchy it is believed the church building was in use until 1991 when the Methodist Church joined with the United Reformed Church (which is further south along the high street).

I thank frenchboy for his help with this cache, he was able to dig up the information about the church and also suggested a suitable hiding place when we were struggling, his assistance was invaluable.

There was a church micro here from 2013-2020 (GC4Q00G), this is a replacement; same church but different final location.

Answer these two simple questions to ascertain the final two numbers needed in the equation listed above in bold.

There are a series of names on the front of the building (presumably benefactors). Reading from left to right:

(For 'Y') What is the penultimate name?

Miss Grosvenor = 7

Miss Green = 5

Miss Groves = 3

 

(For 'Z') What is the final name?

Mrs Nelson = 5

Mrs Newman = 3

Mrs Nunn = 1
