Great Livermere village sign
In need of some attention the sign is surmounted by a crown. The falcon on the sign relates to William Sakings, Falconer to Kings Charles I, Charles II, and James II. He is buried in the churchyard of St Peter’s church. Beneath the bird are the three crowns of East Anglia which draws upon the traditional arms of East Anglia attributed to the ancient Wuffingas dynasty; three crowns in a blue shield. Livermere is from the old English 'laefor-mere‘, meaning ‘reed lake’.
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.
