The sign is surmounted by a depiction of Sir Ranulph de Glanville founder of Leiston abbey and Aldringham church was under the care of the abbey. A farmer in his cart is representing the agricultural heritage of the village and the lovely church of St Andrew in the adjacent panel. The lower image shows the Hundred River with bulrushes and a kingfisher. The village of Thorpeness is part of Aldringham but has its own village sign.
