In 1889, Upton was described as sitting on a bend in the main road, "on the summit of a hill which commands a fine view of the Trent Valley". The village had a population of 425 at the 2011 census. The parish church of St Peter & St Paul is C13th, built in the Perpendicular style. The tower of the church has previously been used as a dovecote. There is also a village hall and a pub. Upton is also the home of the British Horological Institute based at Upton Hall. What once was the village shop and Post Office is now a private house.

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.
