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

 

Worstead is a village in the county of Norfolk. 

In 2011 census it had a population of 922.

It is listed in the domesday book of 1086 as Wrdesteda and Ordested

The village became very prosperous from the 12th century when weavers from Flanders arrived in the area.

Worstead cloth derives its name from this weaving heritage, although it is no longer manufactured in the village.

 

To find the cache use the objects on one side of the village sign to work out the final coordinates

The cache can be found at N52 47. (Church) (Clouds x Dogs) (Sun + Lion + Ram)

E001 24. (Dogs x 3) (Clouds + Church) (Lion + Sun + Ram + Dogs)

 

If anybody would like to expand the Village Sign Series, please do. I would ask that you request a number for your cache first by filling in the new request form on the Village Sign Series website villagesignseries.co.uk https://www.villagesignseries.co.uk so we can keep track of the Village Sign numbers and names to avoid duplication.
