Welcome to the beautiful village of Santon Downham.
Not only is this village a lovely, peaceful place to visit with its picturesque church, bustling village hall and classic, red phone box which is now used as a lending library, it is also so rich in history with the village being mentioned in the Doomsday book of the year 1086.
The village sign is a rather new edition to the village. It was erected in 2022 to celebrate the platinum jubilee of Her Majesty, the late Queen Elizabeth the Second. It stands proud on the village green along the main road through the village.
This is a Multi Cache so you will need to solve the quiz to find the final location and sign the log.
A = The number of deer.
B = The number of birds in the sky.
C = The number of pheasants.
D = The number of trees.
E = The number of letters in the first word.
F = The number of letters in the second word.
G = The number of rabbits.
N 52° AF.(D+C)(B-A)(F-D)

This is a micro cache so please bring tweezers and your own pen.
Please be careful with your geokids and geohounds at the GZ. Although it’s not a busy road, the final GZ is on a bend in the road. Take care out there and happy caching.
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 and statistics can be found at the Village Signs Website - https://www.villagesignseries.co.uk
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.
