Track Down the Flying Treasure!

Lord Berners, an eccentric ex-diplomat, composer, artist, and writer, hosted a diverse and influential social circle at Faringdon House after moving there in 1931. Faringdon House remains famous today for its brightly dyed pigeons, a tradition started by the creative Lord Berners. But, some of these pretty pigeons can be quite mischievous! When Lady Jewel Glittersmuch stayed at Faringdon House recently, one of the pigeons flew off with her exquisite diamond necklace! Her ladies' maids have scoured the area for sightings and have drawn up a map of all possible drop zones. Can you - our TOP treasure seekers - follow the clues and pinpoint the priceless trinket so it can be returned to its devastated owner?
