The Sign
The sign was erected in 2000 to commemorate the Millennium and made by Ironoak Forge in Buxhall.

On top of the sign is a crown which represents the link with royalty down the years, particularly Charles I. The church below the name is dedicated to King Charles the Martyr, one of only five with this dedication the country; the sign stands outside the church on a small green. Below the church are three farm animals from Suffolk, the Suffolk Punch horse, the Red Poll cow and the polled Black-faced Sheep. Down the sides of the sin are ears of wheat and sugar beet below representing agriculture in the area.

The Name and Population
The population is less than 100 and is included in the parish of Rattlesden. It was known as Sellanda in 1086 and Shevelond in 1234. The name means "The cultivated land on a shelf of level ground", from Old English, where it overlooks the village of Buxhall.

Other Points of Interest
Apart from its unique dedication, the church is on private land, erected by the land owner and is from the 18th century, which are few and far between in Suffolk and still uses a barrel organ on a regular basis.
