The sign is unusual if not unique in Suffolk for having another parish on the reverse even though it only its smaller twin Little Bealings. The two parishes are divided only by the River Lark which runs beneath the bridge where the sign is located. This side depicts the church as the main subject, but a cow and calf are also present as is the bridge aforementioned.
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.
