Hurstpierpoint

In many parts of England an ornamental sign is erected on the main road into the village or another prominent position. The design often depicts a characteristic feature of the village or a scene from its history. Hurstpierpoint village sign is situated on the village green and features a knight believed to be Simon de Pierpoint who was given the surrounding land after the Battle of Hastings.

An exotic pet?
Might be a heraldry thing that signifies courage?
But never mind the lion - what about his knobbly knees!
