The Sign
The sign is decorated with wild flowers and wheat outside the frame. Within the frame is the church of All Saints and a wind mill in the background and shows a ploughman and his shire horse in the centre symbolising the agricultural and natural heritage of the parish. In the foreground is a mare and foal representing the Gazeley Stud and the Newmarket horse racing scene, with the cock pheasant in the foreground completing the rural scene.

The sign was erected in 2000 to commemorate the Millennium.

Gazeley Mill was built in 1836. The mill drove five pairs of millstones. A Gippeswyck oil engine was installed by Turners, the Soham millwrights in 1880. In 1893, a one-and-a-half-sack roller mill made by Messrs E R & F Turner of Ipswich was installed. This was driven by the oil engine, which could also drive three of the five pairs of millstones. The mill ceased work c.1920 and was stripped of machinery and converted into a house in 1947.
