Sign for the village of Snettisham, Norfolk.

A village sign in some areas of the United Kingdom is a symbol of a village's history, heritage, or culture. They are different from regular road signs int that they are decorative, sometimes made out of cast iron or wood, and are often made by the local community.

While the practice is wide-spread, particularly decorative village signs are most common in Norfolk, England and, to a lesser degree, in the neighbouring county of Suffolk.
