The plough symbolizes the agricultural aspect of the area in the past in that Springfield was a tiny settlement of a few houses and land was agricultural in use.

The plough is copied from a drawing of men ploughing with oxen from an 11th century calendar. The spring flowers on the mound under the plough symbolizes the extensive bulb planting that took place in the Parish in the 1970’s and 80’s.
