A poorly maintained sign, the plastic weatherproof coating was badly cracked and in need of replacement whenn I visited. I understand that it was replaced in April 2007. I must try to revisit to get an updated photo!

It’s interesting to note that the village name is actually mispelt on the sign! On the OS map, the name is given as Furneux Pelham, with no ‘a’. The name originates from the 13C Norman family: ‘de Furneux’, so the spelling without the ‘a’ would appear to be the correct one.

The village used to boast it’s own brewery, but this is now a housing estate.  The memory lives on though, in the name of the village pub.
