The Mysterious Disappearance of Sheesa Payne

The town of Wimborne is in shock after the sudden disappearance of Miss Sheesa Payne, a beloved member of the Minster Choir. Sheesa was known for her powerful voice and captivating performances, drawing in crowds from miles around. But after her final show, she was found missing from the choir's vestry. As the investigation unfolds, two key motives surface - a recent inheritance and conflicts within the choir. Was Sheesa taken for her money, or was someone fed up with her dominating presence?

Mystery in the Vestry - A Detective Adventure in Wimborne

DCI Nota Clue needs your help to solve this puzzling case. Join forces with your friends and family on this self-guided detective-themed Treasure Trail through the ancient town of Wimborne and its famous Minster. As you follow the circular route, keep an eye out for sneaky clues cleverly hidden on existing buildings, permanent features, and monuments.

Explore the Minster, which has stood for over 1300 years and is renowned for its chained library, where only four remain in the world. See the final resting place of Ethelred of Wessex, brother of Alfred the Great, and 'The Man in the Wall', who had his coffin built into the Minster's wall.
