The Sign
The sign is simple depicting a wheatsheaf representing arable farming in the area. The sign is made of painted wrought iron. Slight change in the sign in 2024 with different text and some alterations in the scrollwork.

The Name and Population
The population was 366 at the 2011 census. It was called Altera Walingafella / Waldingafella / -gefelda / Walingafella in the Domesday Book. There are now two adjoining villages of Little and Great Waldingfield. The name means "Open land of the forest-dwellers", from Anglian and Old English; 'Little' added later.

Other Points of Interest
The church is dedicated to St Lawrence. 

Robert Branford, thought to be the first black Metropolitan Police officer, died in 1869 and is buried in the parish churchyard.
