The sign depicts a post-mill which once stood in the village from 1758 until it ceased to operate about 1910. It stood a short distance east of this sign. The image of the lady feeding the geese is a close copy of her gravestone. Her name was Ann Basey a farmers wife, obviously well respected in her day. https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1463740
