The Sign
The sign is very visible on the A12 main road through the village. It was made by Mr. John Reeve, a local craftsman in 1988 and designed and researched by the children of Wrentham Primary School.

At the top of the sign is the village pound with the British and American flag on each side. Below are carrots and wheatsheaves representing local agriculture and wavy blue lines of the North Sea, which is not too far away. The scene at the bottom is of the village in days gone by.

The Name and Population
The population, including Covehithe, was 966 at the 2011 census. It was called Uuereteham or Wretham in the Domesday Book. The name could possibly mean "Wrenta's homestead or village".
