Rural life is depicted on the sign with the ears of wheat, horse ploughing the fields, spade and pick-axe. A pig and a pheasant are shown and the village church of St Peter and St Paul provides the focal point of the scene. From the 13th century until recently the area was devoted to arable farming.
Also on the sign are two aeroplanes representing the 355th Fighter Group of the USAF and RAF who were based at the Steeple Morden Airfield. This was established in 1938 by the RAF and linked with nearby Bassingbourn.
