A Sign of the Times: Local history told through East Anglian village signs.  Almost every community in East Anglia proudly displays a village sign.

But what of the origins of these signs? And how and what do they tell us about the history of those villages?  In this talk, Sarah Doig explores this fascinating aspect of our local history, drawing on examples from across the region.
