SCHOOLCHILDREN have buried a time capsule under a new directional sign installed on their village green.
Pupils from North Cowton Primary School filled the capsule, which was made by one of the parents and local furniture craftsman James Edmonds.
North Cowton Parish Council bought the sign after receiving a £500 grant from the North Yorkshire County Council's Locality Budget.
Alison Hughes, school secretary and parish council clerk, said: “The schoolchildren were kindly asked if they would like to do a time capsule which could be buried underneath it.
“They decided on some toys and books, as well as relevant items to the school such as a tie and class photographs.”
Pupils are now looking to research another time capsule which was buried under the school playground around 14 years ago.
