The Sign
Flixton is the oldest village sign in Suffolk, originally erected in 1921 by Sir Robert Adair then Lord of the Manor, at the side of the B1062 road at its junction with Church Road next to the entrance lodge to the Flixton Hall estate. The sign depicts St Felix holding the church in his right hand and a crook in his left. A historic endowment of the bishops of South Elmham, originated in a 7th century grant to the first East Anglian bishop, St Felix, and caused the village to be named after him and a priory established within its bounds.

The Name and Population
The population in 2011 was 176. The village was called Flixtuna in the Domesday Book and Flixton in 1254. The name means "The farmstead or estate of a man called Flik or Flikkr" from Old English and a personal Old Scandinavian name.
