Sutton sign pays tribute to the Norfolk wherries which were built in the shipyard which once thrived in the village. Navigable cuts were dug to connect Sutton to the River Ant and consequently all the main navigable waterways. The mill is still very much a part of the village being the largest mill in the county standing just under 80 feet (24 metres) tall. It was built in 1789 with 8 floors. In 1861 it caught fire and was rebuilt and another floor added taking it to its current height. https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2250801 https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6674247
