The Sign
At the top is the old windmill which once stood behind the village shop. A farmer stands resting with his horse-drawn plough, representing the agricultural heritage of the parish. The Domesday record book, the church of St Catherine and an anvil, representing the church and the blacksmith are at the bottom of the sign. The sign was erected in 1995, made by Sizewell B Contractors and designed and painted by Liz Worsley.
