Syderstone village sign
The sign is a quartered shield with the English lion in the centre. In the top left is the present day village hall which is named after Amy Robsart. In 1549 Amy Robsart married Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, and was probably murdered by him. Her ghost haunted the village for many years. The right quarter depicts the church of St Mary. A tractor ploughs the field giving reference to the agricultural heritage of the village, and a natterjack toad inhabits the final quarter as well as inhabiting Syderstone Common. https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6794196

Amy Robsart Hall
Amy Robsart was the wife of Robert Dudley, Elizabeth I's favourite. She died, in mysterious circumstances but conveniently for Dudley, falling down stairs in 1560 at Cumnor Place near Abingdon when she was just 20 years old. The full story and the speculation about whether this was murder, suicide or an accident, can be found at http://www.tudorplace.com.ar/Bios/AmyRobsart.htm.
And the connection with Syderstone? Amy Robsart was daughter of Sir John Robsart, Lord of the Manor of Syderstone.
