Downham Market town sign
In the form of a large "T" to denote a town, there is an explanatory plaque which tells us that it is St. Winnold who is depicted on the sign. He was a fifth century abbot who is believed to have been born in Wales, but spent most of his life in Brittany. His remains are said to lie in St. Peter’s church in Blandenborg near Ghent. Believe it or not, fish rose up out of the water in obedience to the summons of his bell. (sounds a bit fishy to me!) A Benedictine Priory at Wereham was dedicated to him and a large annual horse fair held there on St Winnold’s Day (3rd March) and later transferred to Downham Market. Hence the connection. On this side the sign also recognises that Horatio Nelson went to school here and the butter-making for which the area was famed. The Crest is that of St. Edmund to whom the parish church is dedicated. https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6803931 https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6803935
