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 stated 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
Horsington Village Sign
The village signs were placed in 2000 under the guidance of Parish Chairman Charles Hill whose initials are on the rear of the signs. Horsington can be a colourful village as you drive through, as a lot of the houses fly flags from all over the world throughout the year. It was a tradition started at the millennium and still continues. Can you guess the countries of the flags being flown?
Horsington used to have two windmills, one situated down the small lane opposite the village hall and known as Greens mill. The bakehouse still survives. The other mill still survives and is situated in Charles Hill’s yard and was built in 1820 by John Clark.
At the co ordinates there are two little yellow signs, Look at the bottom sign.

If anybody would like to expand the Village Sign Series, please do.
