Rampton
Double sided with the same images on each side. Wheat ears on the sides. Divided into four quarters:
- village scene
- church and farmer with sheaf of corn
- sheep in front of a house
- farmer ploughing with horse and woman picking apples
There is a war memorial plaque in the base for 11 from WWI and 2 from WWII.
Willingham
Dated 2011 - a picture covered in glass which makes it difficult to photograph. The reverse is W I in a circle of flowers. Similar to Cottenham. The picture shows a windmill and children running towards a man. Fruit and flowers round the side. Notes from http://www.willingham-cambs.co.uk/ "The village sign above contains a potted history of Willingham. Cattell's Windmill is shown which has recenly had new sails fitted. The man on the sign is George Pegler, the first master of the British School established in 1856. Around the sign are shown fruit and flowers which were the main produce of the village - still grown today but on a much smaller scale. There is also a representation of the wall paintings from the church as well as one of the carved angels which can be seen on the roof timbers. Finally, a U2 spy plane can be seen flying over in recognition of the nearby USAF air bases."
