Fornham St Genevieve was amalgamated with St Martin after the church was abandoned after a fire destroyed it in 1752. On the sign the River Lark flows through the scene with fish leaping from the water. Below the name is a black face Suffolk sheep as a reminder of the heydays of the wool trade although the Suffolk was bred for meat rather than wool. The two figures are a reference to the Priory in Fornham St Genevieve.
