Scratby village sign, repainted
Scratby and California share a sign featuring a lifebelt, the Royal Albert lifeboat, an oar and some ruins with a glazed window, probably representing Scratby church which was demolished in 1548. On the right is what I believe to be a lifeboat shed and perhaps a beacon.
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.
