HENDON
Incorporated into: 1965 Barnet
Official blazon
Arms: Azure on a Mount in base Vert a Pascal Lamb proper on a Chief Or two Windmill Sails in saltire Sable.
Crest: On a Wreath Or and Azure a two bladed Airscrew in pale winged Or.
Supporters: On the dexter a Griffin Argent gorged with a Mural Crown Gules and charged on the shoulder with a Mullet Sable and on the sinister a Pegasus Argent gorged with a Mural Crown Gules and charged on the shoulder with an Eagle displayed Sable.
Motto: 'ENDEAVOUR'.
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on September 24, 1932.
The shield incorporates elements symbolic of the three original wards constituted in 1879. The Lamb represents Central Hendon, and was used by the Hendon UDC and its predecessor, the Local Board. The hill upon which it stands refers to Child's Hill and the windmill sails to Mill Hill.
The winged air-screw indicates Hendon's association with aviation.
The griffin is a variation of the supporter of Lord Powis, at one time Lord of the Manor of Hendon. The pegasus and eagle are derived from the heraldry of a former Duke of Buckingham and Chandos who owned property in the West Hendon area.
