Standing on a small green near the church of St Peter and St Paul, the double-sided sign depicts a delightful scene of the church and a path through the bluebell woods for which the village is noted.

Like a painting in appearance it reflects its surroundings admirably. The format is a tribute to two local artists, one, Peggy Beeton, a distant relative of Mrs Beeton of cookery book fame, and Robert Lobley.

The tiny dated golden crown that tops the sign marks the Golden Jubilee.
