Not sure such a Devilishly hid cache belongs in such a Godly place but here goes... [}:)]

After a great sunny afternoon in Great Yarmouth, we decided to attempt a little cache n dash on the way back to Watford.. and well whaddayaknow another puzzler!

Walked around the church, trying to look as inconspicuous as possible - being about as inconspicuous as a clown at a funeral, thankfully there didn't seem to be anyone there. I was half expecting to be accosted by one of those friendly vicars.

Looked up the clues then found the hinted spot. But not until after we had trampled disrespectfully over some graves and stood staring into a nearby tree for about 10 mins. It was clue number C that threw us off. We were undecided about whether the crucifix over the entrance archway would be considered as part of the roof or not - turns out it was.

We amended our coords and upon arriving at the new GZ it made a bit more sense. Now this was troubling - it was an obvious hide but somehow not obvious. First, the wife took a look and couldn't spot anything - even with a torch - I highly recommend a torch for this one.

Then after mooting around a bit and staring at the floor trying to suss if it was a red herring, I got up and took a look and on the off chance spied the hiding location of this none too obvious giveaway.

Left a Canadian Cent for the trouble. TFTH. [;)]
