A map and historical information board in the centre of Quorn village erected to celebrate the millennium.

"The history map is surrounded by many sketches and notes depicting Quorn's phases of development including the reason for its name the quern or quornstone which was a granite handmill to grind corn in ancient times.

The village had many sides to its history. These are shown through the building of the early churches, the stagecoach era, bridgebuilding, the Quorn hunt, the old mills, the early hosiery industry, canal building, railways, floods and many more old landmarks.

Another map on the reverse is a large up-to-date village street map. It seems fitting that this new project is sited at Quorn Cross in the centre of the village."
