Ashmanhaugh Village Sign Norfolk - Pictorial Village Signs on Waymarking.com

Ashmanhaugh is a typically small, rambling, Norfolk village. The sign is situated outside the Preston Rooms, formerly the village school but now the village hall. The village is home to the Ashmanhaugh Light Railway and, on occasions, Ashmanhaugh and Barton Wanderers Cricket Club. The Norman church of St Swithins is reputed to have the smallest round tower in Norfolk. The village is also home to a Red Telephone Box Waymark and the Red Tardis Geocache.
Ashmanhaug is two miles from the more well known village of Wroxham and one mile from the Wroxham Barns tourist attraction.
The sign is one sided, painted wood, and the wrought iron framework has an Ash tree on the top. Haugh is a Saxon word for an enclosed piece of land bounded by a stream and this scene forms the background of the sign. St Swithins appears on the sign along with his coat of arms and the village church. The other coat of arms is that of the Preston family, local landowners, after whom the village hall is named.
