Rich1972 Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Does anyone have anything similar? It's on the lintel to the main entrance of the house. I've been told that it was a sign to indicate the home of the local nightwatchman?! Perhaps it's a local thing to my area but I'd be interested to know if other things exist in other places around France. I think the lintel and dressed stonework around the doorway has been reused at a later date, probably mid-18th century, so it probably came from another house in the area that was demolished c1750s.
