The sign is surmounted by the crown of Henry III and the date 1263. Immediately below is the church of St Mary and the old windmill which once stood not far from the village centre. The scene below the name, shows everybody having a good time at the market for which the village was given a charter in 1263. The sign is in the grounds of the village hall.
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.
