Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on ?
The two millrinds symbolise the mill at Barnes Mill and the white and blue wave represents the Rivers Chelmer and Blackwater which form a large part of the Springfield Parish boundary. The three seaxes are for Essex and the wheatsheaf represents the agricultural nature of the area.
The tower depicts that of Springfield All Saints Church, which although not in the Parish of Springfield now was prior to 1907. The poplar trees either side of the tower are shown on a photograph of the Church taken in the 1990's. The plough symbolises the agricultural aspect of the area in the past in that Springfield was a tiny settlement of a few houses and land was agricultural in use. The plough is copied from a drawing of men ploughing with oxen from an 11th century calendar. The spring flowers on the mound under the plough symbolises the extensive bulb planting that took place in the Parish in the 1970's and 80's.
