Thank goodness for the Reydonweb otherwise I would be in trouble working out to what the elements of the sign referred. The brick wall signifies strength in number, the cogwheel is symbolic of progress, also depicting the role played in the past by the village blacksmiths. The cross in the centre of the cogwheel represents the role of the church. The rye sheaf because the name Reydon is probably derived from the word rye and hill, (rey–don) and for the agricultural heritage. The oak tree represents the Reydon oaks which are still quite numerous, despite many being felled in the past for boat-building at neighbouring Southwold. https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6773475
