Starting from the top, the sign displays two sheaves of corn, representing the agricultural heritage of the parish. The aircraft is a reminder of the airfield during the Second World War up to 1963 when it was home to various bomber squadrons and later to Thor missiles. The church of St Mary and a modern tractor ploughing a field brings agriculture into the modern day. The football and cricket paraphernalia represent local sport and the playing field. The watermill which was built in 1775 and was worked until 1954. It remained derelict until 1972 when it was converted into a restaurant, retaining the working water wheel as a feature. https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4295584
