Melbourn Village Sign was designed and created by signwriter Mike Keith based on the original design of the old 2004 sign which after heavy rain caused it to rot and split. The new sign was unveiled in 2007 which features Christian writer and preacher John Bunyan, the author of The Pilgrim's Progress who can be seen beneath a chestnut tree, once preached at the cross in the village. Guests at the ceremony of the sign being unveiled included Mavis Howard, who was chairman of Melbourn Parish Council when the old sign was first erected.

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!

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.
