Yellow Archangel (Galeobdolon luteum), Sixpenny Handley
A plant 1-2 feet high found throughout England and Wales, but rare in Scotland and Ireland. Also know as weasel-snout, it flowers from April to June. 'Galeobdolon' derives from two Greek works meaning weasel and stench - probably a reference to the unpleasant smell produced when the stems or leaves are rubbed between the fingers.

Sixpenny Handley, fingerpost
One of two in the village; see also
Image This one is at the bottom of High Street, at the junction with Dean Lane (seen here). Giving county name, location (written as 6D Handley), and grid reference (000171), which is not quite correct, according to my GPS; if not rounded up, it should read 999170.
