Denham St. John the Baptist, not Denham St Mary. The sign has a seven elements, not all of which are obvious to the writer.
Surmounted by a representation of an oak tree, deer are a common sight in the parish, as are fruit orchards at Fruit Farm, chickens represent the poultry farm, and the church of St John, but a knight on a charger and a monk are perhaps a reference to Sir E. Kerrison, lord of the manor in the past and William de Kirsby, Kirkby or Kirby, (depending on the source) Prior of Norwich, in the 13th century.

Village Signs of East Anglia

Village signs are typically placed along the principal road or in a prominent location such as a village green or close by the church. The design often depicts a particularly feature of the village or a scene from its history, heritage, or culture. They are typically made of wood or metal or a combination of both, the designs are often made by the local community.
Although they do appear in villages and towns all over the country they are more prominent in East Anglia than elsewhere in the country.
