The Reverend Charmian Beech blamed a pair of 'Da Vinci Code-style' treasure hunters for causing thousands of pounds worth of damage as they searched for clues to help them find the Grail.

Stonework was chipped off in four areas inside her church as the offenders tried to remove blocks from the walls to see what is behind them, she said.

I do no know. :) It is scary though that people will deface hundreds of years old church property to try and prove the Da Vinci code.

Why don't you read the article... it has NOTHING to do with the Da Vinci Code.

Dummies think the holy grail is an object not a person.

The Da Vinci Code is fiction.

Holy Blood, Holy Grail and the Messanic Legacy and The Holy Place are the prose, nonfiction sources.

St Luke's does not feature in Dan Brown's book the Da Vinci Code...

Historian and Arthurian legend expert Graham Phillips, whose books include The Search For The Grail, claims to have discovered what could be this artefact hidden in a statue in Hawkstone Park near St Luke's Church and discusses links with St Luke's Church on his website.

You mean that these were Grailhunters who have never heard of or read the Da Vinci Code? Really? I missed that line in the article - where was it?

(Raises his hand).

Here I am. The piece says "DaVinci Code style treasure hunters" as opposed to "they read the book and were inspired to plunder".

(Raises his hand again).

It looks like us.

Marlowe is the burned out hippy looking guy on the right. He always photographs better with his blue shield.

When all else fails it's time to play semantic games defending Brown's piece of semi-literate trash.

It wasn't me, it wasn't me, it was Marlowe and those odious pickled eggs!
