The sign is a silhouette type and has four elements. The sun shines down on a ploughman at work in the field. Unusually a chimney sweep is recognised; the blacksmith is shown at work at his anvil and wildfowling on the Waveney marshes is also represented.
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.
