Village signs is a series of caches based on the ornate signs that depict the heritage, history and culture of the villages that put them up (normally on the village green!).
This cache is a black 30ml tube and is NOT at the published coordinates.
You DO need to visit the village sign to get the information.
On the sign is a plaque with a date at the top, take the year to be ABCD
The cache can be found at N52 10.(A+C+C)AA E000 06.A(A+6)(A+4)
Trumpington is a village and former civil parish on the outskirts of Cambridge, on the southwest side of the city bordering Cherry Hinton to the east, Grantchester to the west and Great Shelford and Little Shelford to the southeast. The village is an electoral ward of the City of Cambridge. The 2011 Census recorded the ward's population as 8,034.
The village was a separate parish from the Anglo-Saxon era until the 20th century. In 1912 all of the land north of Long Road was transferred to Cambridge, and in 1934 most of the remaining land, including all of the village, was also given over to Cambridge. Only 382 acres (155 ha), almost uninhabited, were transferred to Haslingfield parish. The present Trumpington ward of Cambridge City Council also incorporates the Newtown area of the city, north of the historic parish boundary.
The cache is not at the village sign but be prepared to drive, it's more than a couple of minutes. Please do not go climbing all over the sign!

If anybody would like to expand this series please do. I would just ask that you let SmokeyPugs know first so they can keep track of the Village Sign numbers and names to avoid duplication.
