The Sign
There are two village signs at Finningham, both at the same road junction, the old one next to the White Horse Inn public house and the newer one opposite. The old sign is quite simple, just displaying the village name with delicate ironwork. The newer sign is much more decorative and made by Mary Moore of the Brandeston Forge in 2002. The new sign has five panels depicting the church of St Bartholomew at the top with a roe deer on the left with orchids and the River Waveney lined with trees on the right. Bottom left shows a modern tractor ploughing the field, bottom right showing a white horse representing the pub. The arms, centre bottom are those from the Frere family who settled in the village in 1598.

The Name and Population
The population was 480 at the 2011 census. Known as Felincham / Finningaham in the Domesday Book. The name means "Homestead/village of the followers of Fin(a), or 'of Finn', or 'of the people from Finborough", six miles south, from Old English.
