Geocache Description:

This is a Traditional Letter Box cache and is placed at the co-ordinates, so you just have to find it. The stamp and ink pad are provided for those of you that don't have a stamp or ink pad.

Please do not remove either of them from this cache, as it is for everyone to enjoy.

THE IDEA OF A LETTERBOX CACHE IS TO USE THE STAMP FOR YOUR LOG OR USE YOUR OWN.


This one is a letterbox stamp and log book inside a small cliplock box

Wormegay is a civil parish in the English county of Norfolk. The village is situated some 9 kilometres (5.6 mi) south of King's Lynn and 60 km (37 mi) west of Norwich.

The place-name 'Wormegay' is first attested in the Domesday Book of 1086, and means 'the island of Wyrm's people'. Just to the west of the village centre lies Wormegay Castle, a motte and bailey earthwork further up this lane is the church .


About Village Sign Caches

 

This cache belongs to the Village Sign Series, a series of caches based on ornate signs that depict the heritage, history and culture of the villages that put them up (generally on the village green!).

The signs can be made of different materials from fibreglass to wood, from forged steel to stone. They can depict anything from local industry to historical events. The tradition probably started in Norfolk or Suffolk and has now spread across most of the country so we thought we would base a series on them!

More information, bookmarks and statistics can be found at the Village Signs Website

If anybody would like to expand the Village Sign Series, please do.
I would ask that you request a number for your cache first at www.villagesignseries.co.uk
so we can keep track of the Village Sign numbers and names to avoid duplication.
