Aylmerton Stone Cross before restoration
Aylmerton Stone Cross before restoration
Aylmerton Cross One mile south of the village on Church Road, at a small junction of the Lower Gresham to Metton road, is this ancient cross which has been recently restored. Aylmerton cross is on the parish boundary with Gresham. It is said to have been one of a number of guides to Walsingham where pilgrims could rest and do whatever else pilgrims used to do on their journeys. This seems most unlikely as it is nowhere near to being on the route heading to Walsingham being 15 miles the east of the shrine and there being nothing resembling a direct route betwixt the two.

Gresham village sign 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.
