In the late Anglo-Saxon period this Mid Suffolk village became known for the 55-mile pilgrimage to Bury St Edmunds where the county's religious folk would travel to honour King Edmund after his death. This pilgrimage is depicted in Fressingfield's village sign where a pilgrim has his pack mule in tow. The sign was appropriately erected on Jubilee Corner in 1953 to mark the queen's coronation.
