Harby is the eastern most village in Nottinghamshire. It is only 3 miles from Lincoln city centre.
Eleanor of Castile, wife of King Edward I, died in the village in 1290. The King ordered her body be transported to London and stone crosses built at every place she stopped on the journey.
Harby has a primary school named after Queen Eleanor, a village hall and a pub.
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.
