At the time of writing the sign is not in situ and is under repair after being blown down. Erected for the silver jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II, the sign has a thatched roof under which is an ounce, (panther) which are supporters on the coat of arms of the Marquesses of Bristol. Also depicted is a cartwheel, an anvil and tools representing the wheelwright and blacksmiths and other tradesmen of the past. Behind the wheel is a branch of oak is representative of the Tea Party Oak in Ickworth Park. In the left bottom corner is a sickle and fork representing the agricultural and horticultural aspect of the parish. An artist’s palette, almost hidden reflects the Horringer Crafts group. On the spandrels are a deer and a black faced Suffolk sheep, representing the two types of animal to be found in Ickworth Park.
