The Sign for the Ancient Market Town of Reepham in Norfolk, England

---

The Reepham town sign was installed in June 1992. It shows a group of three of everything - churches, villagers, farm labourers, sheep, lambs, and the "sisters". The design is the work of the local High School. All elements are based upon the myth that three sisters were responsible for building a church each. But the medieval churches, all three in the same churchyard were built over a span of several generations. One was burnt down in the Great Fire of Reepham 1543, so, except for a part of a derelict wall and some graves, only two churches now remain.
