Brumstead - Norfolk - Pictorial Village Signs on Waymarking.com

The village sign is located on the junction of The Avenue with the B1159 (Brumstead Road).
The sign depicts a farmer sat upon a horse drawn rake (or maybe a grain drill?).

"Brumstead has an entry in the Domesday Book of 1085. In the great book Brumstead is recorded by the names Brumestade, and Brunestade. The main landholders was Roger Bigot. The main tenant is said to be Robert from Roger Bigot. The survey also mentions that there were 30 goats, a church and a mill. There was a pannage or woodland for 16 pigs. In the survey the size of the local woodland was given as to the number of swine the woodland could support. The name Brumstead is believed to derive from the "place of broom".

The village has also been known for hundreds of years as Brunstead, as old maps demonstrate. Brunstead is also the name by which the village is known locally, and the name on the village sign."
