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.
# 11 Don’t Frett About It!
This is a short ‘circular walk (2.7 miles) around the village of Frettenham.
Frettenham Village Sign.
Info from waymarking.com :-
The sign is situated in the middle of the village on the small triangular village green along with a postbox and seat.
The Viking longship on the sign gives due recognition to the Scandinavian invasions of the past.
The mill depicted was built in 1880 and is now a private residence. It had five storeys and four sails. One of the millstones sits on top of the circular base of the sign. The plough is a link to the surrounding heavily farmed countryside.
The four points of the compass are marked on the surrounding paving. The sign was erected in August 1981.
This makes a triumvirate on this route of caches in the series, VH, CM & VS !
