The sign was unveiled on the 25th September 2021. The new sign depicts the Anglo-Saxon All Saints Church and a boot, representing shoemaker Jeremiah Cutton after whom Cutton's Corner, (adjacent to the sign's location) is named.
As well as the church, the sign illustrates the agricultural nature of the village by a tractor under the trees which themselves represent the various woodlands of the area, with geese in the foreground.
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.
