Sweffling

The Sign
The sign was erected in 2000 to commemorate the Millennium and is made of wrought iron, with a little bit of colour added. The main feature is a mill, now gone set in rolling countryside. The mill is surrounded by two swifts. Fixed to the post is the Sacred Heart emblem which probably represents the church.

Known as Sueflinga or Sueftlingan in 1086. The name could mean "Swiftel's people" from Old English. The population was recorded as 187 in 2011.
