The sign is located in Shouldham Road.
This sign has five elements. The first depicts an old biplane which relates to the airfield which was established in the parish in August 1916 close to the former Royal Naval Air Station at Narborough. The ghost of Sister Barbara who was bricked up alive behind a wall at Marham Abbey for her "grave incontinency" is seen in front of the abbey ruins. The third picture relates to Marham Fen with the fourth being Holy Trinity church, and finally the ears of corn for the agricultural heritage. Link
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.
