Surmounted by a Roman centurions helmet giving a clue the Needham once had a small Anglo-Roman settlement. The sign bears the County of Norfolk Coat of Arms and another panel has a view of the River Waveney and some sheep grazing, Below is a view of Needham St. Peter’s church with its round tower. The sign is supported by two fish, perhaps in recognition of “The Fishmonger’s Arms” public house which once had an important role in the parish.
