At the top border of the sign is a heavy horse in the pasture representing the importance of the horse before the tractor and mechanisation. On each side are straws of golden wheat symbolic of the arable farming. In the centre panel is the church of St Mary with the trees, just as they are in the churchyard. The tributary of the Chilton Stream is no longer a ford but is represented by the wavy line between the church and the ploughed field in the foreground. The gold ring in each corner, relates to the Poslingford ring, found by a resident in the village while gardening in 1955. It was found to be from the 9th century and is in the British Museum. Link
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.
