The Sign
Constructed of wrought iron, designed and unveiled by Giles (the cartoonist) in 1977 to celebrate the Queen's Silver Jubilee. The sign depicts a yellow sheaf of wheat or corn in homage to the arable farming over many centuries, and pink pigs peering through a white five bar gate which related to the National Pig Association which operates from within the parish.

The Name and Population
The population was 792 at the 2011 census. Called Witdesham in 1086 and Witnesham in 1254. The name probably means "The homestead or village of a man called Wittin", from Old English.

Other Points of Interest
Ronald "Carl" Giles OBE (29 September 1916 – 27 August 1995), often referred to simply as Giles, was a cartoonist who worked for the British newspaper the Daily Express.

The church is dedicated to St Mary.
