PENRITH (rural district council)
Incorporated into : 1974 Eden
Official blazon
Arms : Gules on a Bend wavy between three Escallop shells and as many Cross-crosslets fitchy Argent a Bendlet wavy Azure.
Crest : Out of a Coronet composed of four Ears of Wheat and as many Acorns leaved set alternately upon a Rim Or a Mount Vert thereon a Stag regardant Gules attired and unguled Or; Mantled Azure doubled Argent.
Motto : 'SINE PAVORE SINE FAVORE' - Without fear or favour
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on November 10, 1961.
The blue and white wave running diagonally across the shield represents the River Eden which flows in a similar course across the District. The strong-holds and feudal history of the area are represented by emblems from the arms of the two principal families, famous in the annals of the Border country - the three white scallop shells from the Dacre shield and the three white crosslets from the Howard arms, all set on their fields of red.
The wreath is in the blue and gold of the arms of the Musgraves of Edenhall. The red stag royal upon a green mound refers to the Royal Forest of Inglewood, and the crown which surrounds it is that specially designed for Rural District Councils, consisting of wheatears and acorns on a gold circlet.
