The Sign (Addy and Long)
The original Village Sign is placed alongside the Old Forge, flush with the building, just near the crossroad. It shows two crossed scythes, for the farming community, which cleverly give a shield-like image. The crossed bars denote Church of St. Andrew, with the blacksmith's anvil in the top crossing. A ploughman with a white and a brown horse drawing the plough make the main image, above the nameplate. The two small flowers beneath the nameplate are fritillaries, which grow in abundance at Fritillary Meadow. The sign was made by Alan Thurlow and Rex Garrod from the village.

The new village sign was unveiled on the 7th September 2024 with the same design as the original, except both horses are now brown and the cross is white. The repairs were carried out by the Debenham Shed.

The Name and Population
It was called Mucelfelda in 1086 and Miclefeld in 1095. The name means "The large tract of open land", from Old English. The population was 231 at the 2011 census.

Other Points of Interest
The Church of St Andrew was made redundant in the late 1970s and was allowed to fall into disrepair. It is now in private ownership as a B&B but is still used for regular services on a Sunday.

Mickfield has a beautiful meadow on the edge of The Village Centre which is packed full of wild flowers and wildlife. Take care if walking through this area because snakes have been spotted basking in the sun. Following advice from Suffolk Wildlife Trust, the meadow is cut once a year in the Autumn, using sickle-bar equipment.
