Arms : Per pale azure and sable, three fleurs-de-lys Or; on a chief ermine a rod of Aesculapius between two ancient lamps or enflamed proper. |
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on January 24, 1919.
The fleur de lys bas been taken from the arms of the old Kings of Gwent; the rod of Aesculapius represents medicine, and the lamp symbolises nursing. Longfellow's poem, " Santa Filomena," spoke of Florence Nightingale as " the lady with the lamp."
The motto, " Goreu Olud Iechyd," is Welsh for "Best Wealth Health."
Literature : The Hospital, August 30, 1919.
