Earith is situated on the northerly banks of the Great Ouse River at the junction of the Old West River and the Old and New Bedford Rivers, and this connection with the local waterways is depicted in the motifs on the sign.

The two townships of Bluntisham and Earith, a mile apart on the A1123, form one ecclesiastical parish. Evidence of Neolithic and Roman habitation has been found in the area, including a small bronze statue (8 1/2 inches high) found in nearby Bury Fen in 1826. The statue is now in the British Museum.
