Colston Bassett - Nottinghamshire - Pictorial Village Signs on Waymarking.com

Colston Bassett village sign outside the village hall on School Lane.

"Colston Bassett is a small village in the Vale of Belvoir in the south-east of Nottinghamshire close to its border with Leicestershire. Lying on the River Smite, it had a population in 2001 of 225, including Wiverton Hall and increasing to 399 at the 2011 Census.

The village dairy opened in 1913, and is one of only five that are permitted to make Stilton cheese. It also manufactures smaller quantities of white Stilton and Shropshire Blue.

Colston Bassett is also home to an old market cross, the ruined church of St Mary, the Colston Bassett Preparatory School for children between 4–11 years, and a pub, the Martins Arms."

The sign shows in the top section the old ruined church of St Mary on the outskirts of the village, and in the lower panels various rural scenes. Various other imagery may have something to do with village history and the Bassett family which once owned the village.
