A pub and artist who collaborated to create a stunning new sign have been saluted by a national society for their efforts.
The Cock, in Norwich Street, Dereham, revealed its traditional hanging sign back in January after enlisting the help of local artist, Doreen Aitken.
It was soon spotted by Maurice Bobbitt, from the Inn Sign Society, who sent a photograph of the magnificent design to his fellow members.
They were so impressed that they decided to award Mrs Aitken and The Cock's landlord, Steve Garner, an appreciation certificate for their contribution to the continuation of the production of pictorial inn signs.
Earlier this month, Mr Bobbitt was on hand to present the pair with their certificates at the pub.
The Inn Sign Society was formed in Bristol in 1990 by like-minded people whose hobby was photographing pub signs.
It currently has almost 300 members across the country, and an archive where images of more than 70,000 pub signs have been digitally stored.
