Flint, red and yellow brick, pantiles and a village sign.

Also visible is the traditional village sign common to Norfolk and Suffolk villages. Mundford's was recently replaced by a new design chosen from a competition for local people and organisations.

The sign is double sided, north and south facing. The north face shows St Leonard’s church from the east and a woolly mammoth, remains of which were found in Lynford quarry. The River Wissey has fish swimming therein. A stag represents the surrounding countryside and the crown and date 1650 represent the Crown Hotel in the village. The birds are stone curlews which are also known as the Norfolk plover inhabit the Brecks. The frame is decorated with local fauna. On the south face, St Leonard’s church, as viewed from the south with fir cones, a squirrel and a stag representing the surrounding countryside. Below is a thatched manor house one of two recorded manors anciently Montfort Manor, named after that family and below that is the Crown Hotel. https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6791122 https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6791127

Looking across from the Crown.

Looking towards the small green and The Crown past the Mundford Fish Bar.

Looking into St Leonard's Street.

The Crown overlooks the small formal triangular village green. Sitting by this window you have no excuse for forgetting the name of the pub.
