SEISDON
Incorporated into: 1974 South Staffordshire
Official blazon
Arms : Argent fretty Gules cloué Or a Bordure Vert charged with twelve Stafford Knots Gold.
Crest : On a Wreath of the Colours issuant from Flames proper a demi Unicorn Argent armed crined tufted and unguled Or supporting a Roman Sword point downwards also proper hilt and pomel Gold.
Motto: 'HONESTE PROGREDIEMUR CONANDO' - Let us progress by honest endeavour.
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on September 5, 1952.
The fretty design is from the arms of the de Tressells, or Trussels, former Lords of the Manor, while the gold roundels represent the old nail-making industry of the district. The Stafford knots link the arms with the County, and their number corresponds with the twelve parishes in the Rural District.
The unicorn is from the heraldry of the Wrottesleys and Greys. The flames refer to the old iron and smelting industry, and the sword alludes to the alleged Roman camp at Kinver.
