A short distance along the Norwich Road from the Church of St.Mary and St.Andrews towards the centre of the village is the village sign.
In the centre of the signs is St Faith who was tortured to death over a burning brazier. The neatherd herding the oxen represents the cattle fair which used to be held annually in October. The monks belong to the Benedictine priory founded in honour of St. Faith, which once stood in the parish.
The reverse shows a mediaeval scene with a man working his loom of which at one time was a major industry contracted out from Norwich. The children looking at the aircraft represent the post WW 2 generation and RAF Horsham St Faiths which has since transformed into Norwich International Airport.
For the second location find the commemorative blue plaque and count the letters in the ladies name.
Then add two times this to the posted Northings and three times to the Eastings.
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!
