Pangbourne has an ornate village sign, featuring Berhtwulf the King of Mercia (the Midlands) who obtained a grant of land (first official record of Pangbourne's existence) here from the Bishop of Leicester in AD 844.

On top is a Viking ship. Underneath the name is an open book in a tree landscape with the words: "The Wind in the Willows; By Kenneth Grahame", paying tribute to the author who lived at Church Cottage in Pangbourne from 1924 until he died in 1932.
