Arms : Argent two Bars wavy Azure on a Chief Gules a Wether passant between two Ears of Wheat slipped and leaved Or. |
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on January 7, 1938.
The wavy blue bars represent the River Wharfe. The wether refers to the place-name, and together with the ears of wheat, to the agricultural character of the district.
The castle represents the old stronghold whose ruins stood near the Council's offices. It was built by the Knights Templar in the reign of Henry III.
Wetherby had the distinction of being the first Rural District Council to receive a grant of arms.
