to go to and children to get off to school wondered about the day
ahead ... (Photo: Howard)

C.01 Pettaugh Village Sign
The village sign depicts some aspects of Pettaugh's history: * The
Windmill -- long since gone -- was a Post Mill, and was situated
behind the Village Shop * The Doomsday Book -- which included a
description of Pettaugh and was completed for William the Conqueror
in 1086 * The Anvil -- indicating the existence of a blacksmith in
the village * The Farmer, with his horse-drawn plough, working the
farmland around Pettaugh, and reflecting the dominant occupation of
the people of Pettaugh for
