Plagiarised from the village website. The sign depicts the steam running through the meadow, a fishpond, around which sheep graze, while behind a yoke of oxen pull a plough across the brown soil. Two figures stand at either end of the sign’s image; the Lady on the right, painted in red, is “Ailed”, a freewoman who lived in the village in the time of Edward the Confessor; the man on the left, painted in blue, is “Rainald”, a Norman adventurer linked with the village. https://crimpleshamparishcouncil.norfolkparishes.gov.uk/category/parish-history/ I trust will last longer than the paint on the sign.
