Higham village sign Suffolk has 400 villages and towns with village or town signs, give or take one or two. 
The tradition of village signs is believed to have started in Norfolk early in the 20th century when Edward VII suggested that village signs would aid motorists and give a feature of interest on the Sandringham Estate.
Many of the signs  were made by Harry Carter, an art and woodwork master at Hamond’s Grammar School, in Swaffham.
Many have now been replaced with fibreglass or modern plastics. The story behind the sign is given as accurately as possible.
