Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on June 10, 1942.
The chevron and martlets are from the heraldry of the local families of Ashawe and Hyde, and the griffin, with a change in colour, is from the arms of the de Traffords. The oak tree alludes to the preservation of the rural aspect of the area, while the anvil and waves refer to industry, the River Mersey and the Ship Canal.
The squirrel is taken from the arms of the De Orneston family and the balance is an emblem of St. Michael, to whom the parish church is dedicated.
