Fyfield Sign
The village sign is beside the bus stop on the junction of Queen Street and the Dunmow - Ongar road.
It is carved and painted in oak, in keeping with the East Anglian style developed by one Harry Carter who carved over a hundred village signs in Norfolk.
The sign shows the church, the roof of Fyfield Hall behind it, and on the right the river leading towards the mill. Behind the mill are five fields representing the “five hydes” from which some say the village derives its name. On the bottom right the fish is a reference to the name “Fish Head” which may have been another ancestor of the village name!
The foreground is dominated by our botanical claim to fame, The Fyfield Pea and the Essex shield completes the design.
