Hessett sign is double sided with different images. The imposing church of St. Ethelbert features on both sides as the most outstanding feature. On the side facing north, of the three panels, the first features The Five Bells public house, the second a farming scene with a grey shire horse ploughing while a cock pheasant looks on. The third panel shows a ram and ewe indicating a strong connection with the mediaeval wool trade and explaining the size of the church. On the south side a few of mallards are in the drainage ditch with runs beside road near the pub, the centre panel shows a tractor pulling a seed drill. I believe the figure in the third panel is John Bacon benefactor to the church and the parish in general. https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6663361 https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6663362
