In the centre is a man using a scythe in the fields representing the agricultural heritage of the area. Below the name is the shield bearing the cross of St George with an image of St Felix in the centre and a key in the top right quadrant; these are the arms are those of Rumburgh Priory, later assumed by St Mary's Abbey, York. The arms are also shown in the church. The sign was made by Frank Borrell.
