This village sign is also one of the most unusual signs in Kent, being triangular. In the frame is a composite representation of the four evangelists of the New Testament. The symbolic creature has a lion's head (St. Mark), ox's hooves (St. Luke), eagle's wings (St. John) and a child looking forward into the new millennium on the creature's back (St. Matthew). The serpent's tail represents the river which has sustained the village from its earliest days. At the foot of the frame are the crossed keys of St. Peter (church in Newenden). Newenden was known in Roman times as Andredcaster and an important port on the River. (Notes come from Alan Bignell's Book Kent Village Signs)
