The Sign
The sign was made at the Brandeston Forge and designed and painted by Mrs Fisher who lived locally. The sign was donated by Lt. Col. Mudie.

At the top are parts of the Wingfield family crest to the left of All Saints church tower and to the right is the date of 1557 and flames which represent the burning at the stake of John Noyes on the 22nd September of that year for his Protestant beliefs at a time when the Catholic Queen Mary was back in power. Below the church are two traditional scenes of ploughing using oxen and horses representing the importance of agriculture in the past. Below the blue line representing the river Blyth is a railway engine possibly built by Hudswell Clarke and Co with the dates of 1904-1952 when the railway was active in the parish.
