The Hamond's Grade school developing more recently involved act as the 6th kind for the Hamond's High School, however that use has actually since ceased. Harry Carter, the grade school's art educator of the 1960s, was in charge of a multitude of the sculpted village indicators that are now located in most of Norfolk's communities and villages, including Swaffham's very own sign celebrating the famous Pedlar of Swaffham, which is in the corner of the marketplace area just opposite the traditional's entrances.
