26th March 2021 - Caldecote

 Caldecote

Situated at the north end of the road where it meets the St Neots Road at Childerley Gate. The original village is centred near the south end of the road which meets the B1406.

From Wikepedia: "The older part of the village lies to the south, just off the B1046 road and is mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086. The parish church, St. Michael and All Angels, parts of which date to the 14th century, is in this part of the village. Bourn Brook and the route of the former Oxford and Cambridge Railway run to the south of the village."

The sign is doublesided with the same on both sides. The sign shows the church with a deer and a pheasant in the foreground. The left panel shows pigs and the right panel showe a hare and a carriage from the LNER railway. There are pheasants, wheat and flours above.

60 signs in 19 cycle rides. We have visited all the villages on my list within a 13 km radius of our home. There are 56 on list list, one is combined with another village on the sign, four do not have a sign and we have visited 9 villages over 13km from home. I will publish a list of the villages within 16km of Cambridge on this blog.
