The Whatfield sign is the shape of a shield in a square frame. The church of St Margaret with its short tower and pyramidal roof is depicted with some stalks of wheat which represent not only the agricultural heritage of the parish but the origin of the name, “wheat-field” . Below are four horseshoes which recall the blacksmith who was also the local publican of The Four Horseshoes, public house, which still stands in The Street but is now a private residence. The sign was erected in 1990 according to the date thereon. https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4295643 https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4295639
