The base is sinking into the sandy ground and is being stabilised. Icklingham sign has two churches, All Saints which is close to the sign, redundant and is in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust, and St James about 700 yards along the A1101. Between the church towers are, at the top two Roman soldiers guarding a water mill. The road through the village was certainly Roman, although it does wiggle a bit these days. Beneath them is an Iceni warrior in his chariot, and one of his kind was probably the origin of the parish name. https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6764076
