The Sign
The sign was made by Country Craft Studio of Lawshall and first erected in 1986, made of wood; it has since been replaced with a more durable material. The sign is double sided with a village cricket match in front of the church and displaying buttercups in the foreground. The reverse side also shows the church with its many trees in the background and a part ploughed field and ears of wheat in the foreground representing agriculture. There is also a pile of bricks made locally, possibly from Woolpit which is the main material for the church. There is a small plaque on the post showing Stowupland being the best kept village in 1988 for Mid Suffolk. It has also won many other best kept village awards over the years.

A beacon pennant was also erected in 2018 showing one side of the main village sign on both sides.
