The sign is double sided, showing on the side facing the road, the church of St. Mary and a team of horses ploughing a field. On the reverse a battle is taking place between the locals and the invading Danes. In the background is the Iron Age hill fort south west of the village. The road down from the hill fort is called Bloodgate Hill and no doubt named because the road flowed red with the blood of the slain. https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6793882 https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6793884
