The village sign at Brundish (detail)
The shape of the sign and background is likened to the east window in the parish church of St Lawrence and even includes a stained glass panel showing the crowned head of a king and a hairy demonic fellow sticking out his tongue. In the centre stands Sir Edmund de Brundish, featured on a brass in the church from the latter half of the 14th century. The depiction of wheat and barley sheaves and a plough and ploughed field below signify our close ties with the land. The panel with the name illustrated the River Alde meandering through green meadows. 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.
