The sign shows the church of St Mary and the cherries represent the Polstead Black for which the village is renowned, although those on the tree are golden. Not featured on the sign however is what Polstead is probably most famous for, the Red Barn murder of Maria Marten. Not surprising, as her gravestone was chipped away to nothing by grisly souvenir hunters. https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6655965
