A Parish in Mid Suffolk
The Parish Council has generously funded the renovation of our village sign. Originally made by local craftsman the late Felix Wilding, it was desperately in need of a new coat of paint. Sent away to London to be worked on by an expert it was re-erected on a cold February day 2019.
The sign represents various aspects of this village; the windmill which stood in the grounds of Mill House until the 1950's, the Bleinheim aircraft of the RAF that flew from Wattisham airfield and the armorial bearings to link with the association with lords of the manor.
