The sign depicts a follower of St Felix, after whom Felixstowe takes its name. He sits beneath an arched doorway, watching ships entering the port. A church and priory were dedicated to St Felix nearby at Walton by Roger Bigod in 1105.

Village Signs of East Anglia

Village signs are typically placed along the principal road or in a prominent location such as a village green or close by the church. The design often depicts a particularly feature of the village or a scene from its history, heritage, or culture. They are typically made of wood or metal or a combination of both, the designs are often made by the local community.
Although they do appear in villages and towns all over the country they are more prominent in East Anglia than elsewhere in the country.
