It is a custom when thatching to sometimes add an animal or bird on the apex of the roof, possibly as a trademark. This wonderful example of three pigs following each other is on this house in High Street in Over. For another example further north in Cambridgeshire see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2445720 and for one in Kent see https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6607579
