Wood Norton village sign
A nice simple sign in comparison to some but with the added comfort of incorporating a seat around the base. The sign depicts the church of All Saints, gravestones and all. In the name board are two family crests, on the left the Norris family and on the right the crest of Christ’s College, Oxford, the lords of the manor since the time of Henry VIII. Link
