The Sign
This sign represents both Linstead Parva (Little) and Magna (Great) parishes. It was erected on 5th August 2000 to commemorate the Millennium, located next to the village hall, made of wrought iron and unveiled by Mrs Hazel Hall a past chairwoman. The main theme is the church of St Margaret in Linstead Parva, with no tower, it is surrounded by flax flowers formed in an arch shape. A wheatsheaf sits on the top of the sign representing agriculture. The sign also remembers David Vincent "1937-2000", a long serving committee member and chairman.
