The Sign
The village sign was made by Neil Horne of H Signs and erected in 2019. The sign features the new round tower church of St Stephen, the vicarage and a few of the estate cottages in the background. the war memorial is on the left, which is situated on Lower Green and to the right is a ploughed field with representations of the surrounding countryside including pheasants and daffodils. Below the name are what looks like wheat or corn and a root vegetable, representing agriculture. The sign is located just off the A14 slip road before reaching the village.
