The sign shows two coats arms. The crest on the left is that of the Barringtons. Francis Barrington bought the Lordship of the Manor in 1612. The one on the left is that of Robert de Vere, 3rd Earl of Oxford who was one of the twenty-five Magna Carta Barons. He was buried in the Benedictine Priory at Hatfield Broad Oak and there is a monument to him (defaced in the reformation) in the parish church.
