The sign has Eriswell church of St Peter as a background to a tractor and plough which symbolises the agricultural heritage of the parish. On the left is a stone curlew with pine trees, and on the right a cock pheasant with wheat, representing the nature of the warrens and heathland to the east. Below the name is an jet aircraft of the USAF representative of neighbouring Lakenheath, a twig of oak leaves and acorns and a glass of beer with a chequered background illustrating the fact The Chequers public house is only a stone’s throw away. https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/6752025

The village church of St Lawrence Eriswell, Suffolk; for info on the church see http://www.suffolkchurches.co.uk/eriswell.htm

Unusual cone-shaped yews line the churchyard at the rear of St Lawrence Church.

Originally dedicated to St. Laurence as a Chapel of Ease The dedication proved unpopular and is not as commonly used as St Peter, which was transferred from the original church. > http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2088588 An interesting building and much of it is 14th & 15th century workmanship. Entry is gained from the north porch and the 14th century font is immediately noticeable with clustered columns forming the central shaft. The south aisle is almost as large as the main aisle and contains all the usual accoutrements, including a piscina, complete with credence shelf, and an aumbry. There is an earlier 14th century piscina in the chancel and the sedilia with arm rests. There are some old benches, the carvings on which have been dreadfully mutilated.
