The Sign
The sign was erected in 1977 to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II Silver Jubilee. It stands next to the village hall and very close to the church of St Peter. The church is depicted in the background and the cross keys of St Peter are shown in the bottom right corner. The monk shown in front of a Norman doorway is from Kersey Abbey, which the church was appropriated to in Medieval times. It looks like he is counting the taxes from the wheat sheaves representing agriculture in the area, along with the tractor that can be seen in the fields in the far background. The sheep represent the rich wool industry in the 14th century; in fact the village produced its own cloth known as Lindsey Wolseys. The red and white roses represent two public houses in the village, the White Rose is now a private residence, but the Red Rose Inn still survives. The blackbird represents the countryside along with the roses. The sign was not in very good condition on the visit in April 2024.
