The shape of the sign and background is likened to the east window in the parish church of St Lawrence and even includes a stained glass panel showing the crowned head of a king and a hairy demonic fellow sticking out his tongue. In the centre stands Sir Edmund de Brundish, featured on a brass in the church from the latter half of the 14th century. The depiction of wheat and barley sheaves and a plough and ploughed field below signify our close ties with the land. The panel with the name illustrated the River Alde meandering through green meadows. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4371082
