====Official blazon====
'''Arms''' : Per chevron Argent and Or in chief two Garbs proper and in base an Eagle displayed Azure on a Chief Sable three Roses of the first barbed and seeded proper.<br>
'''Crest''' : On a Wreath of the Colours on a Garb fessewise Or an Eagle displayed Azure.<br>
'''Motto''' : 'SOLIS ORTUM CONSPICERE' - To behold the sunrise

====Origin/meaning====
The arms were officially granted on 1945.

The blue eagle was used by the council in their pre-1945 device. It is probably derived from some of the old seals of the Borough of [[Beverley]], where the town's arms were shown quartered with an eagle. The two garbs are for agriculture. The black chief has three Yorkshire roses.

The motto is a reference to its position on the east coast of England.
