Geocache Description:


VS #0196 - Shepreth

Shepreth village sign was unveiled on 24th April 2010 to the delight of many residents who came to witness the occasion. Ray Hardman did the honours. The craftsmen who designed and made the lovely wrought iron sign with its iconic images of Shepreth including a trout from the River Shep were there too. The creation of the sign was a labour of love by the parish council who successfully applied for grant funding from the Community Aggregates Fund (COMMA) in 2009 and have worked for months overseeing the creation of the sign. It has been declared by one elderly resident in the crowd to be the most wonderful village sign she have ever seen. Local Councillors shepherded the project through.

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, bookmarks and statistics can be found at the Village Signs Website

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.
