A double-sided sign, the view above commemorates St Pandionia who, after her chastity was threatened, is said to have taken refuge in the nunnery of Eltisley where she adopted the religious life and was eventually canonised for her virtue. She died in the convent, and was buried by a well called St. Pandionia’s Well. Her body was removed into Eltisley church in the year 1344.

Robert Palmer, vicar in 575, destroyed a well in the churchyard, presumed to be St. Pandionia’s well.

The other side of the sign shows a more typical village scene of cricket being played on the green.
