The Sign
The sign was given to the village by 'Walton carnival Funtime' in June 1993. The sign is based upon the coat of arms and crest of the 1st Earl of Norfolk, Roger Bigod who was granted the Manor of Walton in 1066 by William the Conqueror. The sign is positioned next to the church.

The Name and Population
The village was called Waletuna in the Domesday Book of 1086. The name probably means "farm/settlement of the Britons" or possibly the "Walled town", taken from Anglian and Old English. In 1911, the parish has a population of 4,226.

Other Points of Interest
The village was merged with Felixstowe in 1895.

The church is dedicated to St Mary
