The Plough Inn pub sign - St Agnes' church - Cawston, Norfolk - Pictorial Pub Signs on Waymarking.com

"The Plow Guilds at Cawston had a long association with the church and the Plough Inn at Sygate, formerly the Plow Light (now the Old Plough) which would have been the Guildhall and where the Plow Guild met.

On Plough Monday, which is the first Monday after the twelfth night in January, a plough was taken from the Inn, round the village to collect their largesse and drawing the Plough to the Church and under the west gallery called the Plow Rood for the plough to be blessed and pray for ale, corn and the blessing on their labours, from the largesse collected followed the distributing of alms to the poor, rustic games, feasting and rejoicing.

The plough Inn closed in May 1950, the Plough sign, which is on the north wall of the church was kindly given to the Church by Steward & Patteson Ltd."
