The Sign
The sign was designed by Ben Cox and made by Trevor Self, a blacksmith and erected in 2003 in the form of a silhouette.

The centre of the sign is a map of the parish with its streets and paths. Top left shows a now demolished smock mill with a man stood in the doorway; it has a hawk and pheasant to the right and a small mammal below. At the bottom in the centre is 'The Clayes' late C15 or early C16 timber-framed building, it was formerly a beer house and is now a private residence. The church of All Saints and St Margaret is shown in the bottom right. Above the church is Chattisham Hall, which was rebuilt in 1864 after a fire.
