The village of Weeting has a castle but it is not included on the sign, instead a stone curlew and a rabbit with the thatched cottages called The Row in the background. The ten terraced cottages are believed to be the longest row of thatched cottages in England. https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/919170 The coat of arms if for J J Angerstein a philanthropist and landowner whose family lived at Weeting Hall until 1901. Each side of the arms are fir twigs and cones in deference to the nature of the surrounding woodland. On each facet of the pedestal are ceramic plaques illustrating a Neolithic man mining flint; the castle ruins, the church and a sheep; pilgrims who passed this way on their journey to Walsingham and a thatcher with a some bundles on his shoulder. https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6791042
