The sign is carved in English Oak and has a hurdle carved on the upper element which can be seen east of the church beside the danish earthworks represented by the Saxon in a winged helmet and holding a spear. The centre panel shows the church of St Edmund. Within the right panel is depicted the legendary English cricketer, Fuller Pilch (1804–1870) who was born in the village. On the reverse are details of what the sign represents and at the top is a plough, representing the drawing matches which are held in the parish. A pair of scales and a Roman urn which were unearthed in the village in the late 19th century. https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6796572 https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6644568
