This village on the Norfolk border is another fortunate enough to have two established signs recounting the area's heritage.
The first has a soldier standing on Homersfield's bridge - said to be the oldest surviving concrete bridge in Britain - while the other was carved out of a cedar tree and is topped by a Neolithic man reaching down below towards carefully carved fish. Link
Village Signs of East Anglia

Village signs are typically placed along the principal road or in a prominent location such as a village green or close by the church. The design often depicts a particularly feature of the village or a scene from its history, heritage, or culture. They are typically made of wood or metal or a combination of both, the designs are often made by the local community.
Although they do appear in villages and towns all over the country they are more prominent in East Anglia than elsewhere in the country.
