Knodishall village sign
The sign is primarily for the parish of Knoddishall but it hasn’t forgotten the hamlet of Coldfair Green or the parish of Buxlow which no longer has a church and has become very much a part of Knoddishall after 1865. The sign depicts a horseshoe in the centre of which is the windmill, which once stood in the centre of the village in Mill Road. A blacksmith’s anvil, complete with hammer and tongs. The church of St Lawrence which is located in the northwest corner of the parish and a donkey representing Knodishall Whin

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.
