The Sign
The village sign is situated on the village green on Mill Road. The sign is double sided with the same theme on both, designed by Mrs Brenda Nicholas and made by Ellough Artifacts and erected in 1989. There are four main subjects to the sign, two on the main face and two below. The windmill, which was demolished in 1922 is to the left of St Andrews round tower church. Below the main sign are two fish, which represent the importance of fishing to the village and a wheatsheaf for agriculture.

The Name and Population
Mutford is a small village in the northeast of Suffolk with a population of 471 (2011 census); it lies around five miles south-west of Lowestoft and not too far from the sea. The village gave its name to the Half Hundred of Mutford which was mentioned in the Domesday Book. The name is derived from a "place where moots(meetings) were held near to the ford", in this case, probably a tributary of the River Hundred. It was called Mutford in 1086.

Other Points of Interest

Notable persons from Mutford include Sir Stanley Rous, the former president of FIFA, who was born in here in 1895.

The church has the tallest round tower in Suffolk and has a unique Galilee porch attached to its west end.
