This white version of the snake's head fritillary (fritillaria meleagris) was growing in the wild meadow opposite Great Saxham Hall, which can be seen in the background.

This former decoy pond is situated on the Great Saxham Estate. It is used by a local fishing society.

Looking northward.

Otherwise known as Saxham Magna. The sign is surmounted by a nutmeg and bears a nutmeg tree (Myristica fragrans) as the main subject. In 1588, John Eldred, a merchant, who lived in New Buckenham, Norfolk arrived in London after a voyage to Tripoli in Syria where he purchased among many other spices, nutmeg. This made him a very wealthy man and he bought the Manor of Great Saxham and built a large house which came to be known as 'Nutmeg Hall‘. He died at Great Saxham in 1632, and was buried there in the church. Unfortunately Nutmeg Hall was burnt down in 1779 and the present Great Saxham Hall was built in its place. The birds are twites which relate to Twite’s Farm Cottages, Twite’s Bridge and Twite’s Corner, where this sign is located. A new sign has been erected and will appear here as soon as it is possible to obtain a photograph.

St Andrew's church is situated near Great Saxham Hall, but well away from the present village.

Also known as 'China Pond' this is a former decoy pond, within the grounds of Great Saxham Hall Estate.
