The Carved Signs on a post next to the Church Yard depict the history of the village of East Drayton

The West facing side of the carving represents the following:

• Combine Harvester is for modern farming
• The cricket pitch and rollers are for sport in the village
• the tree and wall for the church and grounds along with the crossed keys
• The bridge to represent that all access to the village is via bridges crossing waterways.

The East facing side of the carving represents the following:

• The hand/horse plough for ancient farming.
• The Bell for the Blue Bell Inn and the Anvil because there was a Smithy there.
• The Dividers and Square and church spire to represent Nicholas Hawkmoor's historical presence in the locality.
• Crossed Keys for the church.

(The sign originally faced to North and South but was changed when support post was renewed and to give better visibility at the road junction for tractor drivers)
