The sign was unveiled on 10th July 2010, Wheathampstead Village Day, by the Mayor of St Albans Councillor Maxine Crawley. The sign was designed by Harry Stebbings and celebrates the 950th anniversary of Edward the Confessor giving Wheathampstead to Westminster Abbey.

The sign and post have been erected in a Haddonstone planter bearing the date 2010. The sign depicts local buildings, the church and the mill, and the inevitable gathering in of wheat.
