Above the name both sides of the sign are identical in recognising Goose Green and an ancient tradition that allowed three geese and a gander to be tethered on the green. Included in the picture is a gold torc, discovered in a grave pit in the 19th century and some bronze age pottery. The church of St Nicholas, the Primitive Methodist chapel (now a private residence) and the school are collectively recorded on one side, and on the other, the village pond, a steam engine and the village water pump which was on the green.

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.
