The motifs shown include the local church, a timbered hostelry which is the oldest documented licensed premises in Hertfordshire; the George and Dragon (now the As You Like It restaurant, across the road from the sign), the coat of arms of John Penne (barber-surgeon to Henry VIII and a local landowner), and a carved dog (which can be found in the church). A useful information board stands near the sign, showing points of interest in the parish.
