The sign is double sided and identical on both. It is surmounted by a tiny wheatsheaf, and divided into four grounds by a red cross. Top right are five crowns for a reason I have yet to establish. The five bar gate and farm animals and the wheatsheaves below are representing the agricultural heritage of the parish, as are the ears of wheat below the shield. The River Bure, which is represented by the wavy blue lines, bottom right. In the centre is a merry-go-round reminiscent of the fair held on the village green. https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6800228
