Thorpe Market village sign - reverse
The sign is surmounted by an acorn and two oak leaves, the sign itself features a hen and cock pheasant. Unfortunately the reverse is even rustier and bears a scene of early Saxon life in the village.

Village Signs of East Anglia
Village signs are typically placed along the principal road or in a prominent location such as a village green or close by the church. The design often depicts a particularly feature of the village or a scene from its history, heritage, or culture. They are typically made of wood or metal or a combination of both, the designs are often made by the local community.
Although they do appear in villages and towns all over the country they are more prominent in East Anglia than elsewhere in the country.
