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 and statistics can be found at the Village Signs Website

The Trimley St Martin village sign depicts Thomas Cavendish a pirate and explorer who lived at Grimston Hall in Trimley St Martin and is Trimley's most famous son. He lived in the 16th century and was the second Englishman – and third person ever – to circumnavigate the globe.
While you are here at the village sign you could collect some of the numbers needed for the Sir Thomas Cavendish cache which is just a short walk away. GC5Q271 Sir Thomas Cavendish
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.
