Unusual Sign at Stoke Sub Hamdon

This cast iron warning sign is on North Street as you approach the village from the Fosse Way (and the A303). I lived for a number of years in a neighbouring village and never heard the village referred to as Stoke under Ham. It must be one of the earliest road signs using a warning triangle. The small black sign on the gable end says Castle Farm, Bed and Breakfast.
