GLOCESTER
State : Rhode Island
Official blazon
Or three chevrons between three Indian arrowheads gules.
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted in the 1930s.
This arms are based on the arms of Gloucester, England which uses “or three chevrons, gules” the arms of the ancient family of Clare, who were Earls of Gloucester, differenced by the addition of ten torteaux. In the above arms, the torteaux have been changed to three Indian arrowheads, to signify that Glocester, R.I., is in America.
Glocester’s arms are used today on the town website, with a helm and crest and mantling. They also now use a fleur-de-lis for a crest of unknown origin.
