Scole - Norfolk - Pictorial Village Signs on Waymarking.com

"The two post horns on the village sign at Scole in Norfolk (above left) represent the Scole Inn (formerly known as the White Hart), which is a prominent building in the village. Considered to be one of the finest coaching inns in the country it was built in 1655. As the coaches approached the inn, the outriders blew on their post horns to announce their arrival to the innkeepers. Above the two post horns depicted on the sign there is an eagle, representing the Romans who were here centuries earlier. Below the post horns there is the cross of St. Andrew who is the patron saint of the local church. The two shields are those of the Cornwallis and Shelton families. Ideas for the design came from parishioners, including the children. It was made by Harry Carter of Swaffham, and was erected in 1976."
