WILMSLOW
Incorporated into : 1974 Macclesfield (2009 Cheshire East)
Official blazon
Arms: Argent on a Bend between two Bendlets wavy Azure three Garbs Or.
Crest: On a Wreath of the Colours issuant from an Antique Crown Or enfiled round the base with a Wreath of Cotton proper a Bear's Head sable muzzled Gules charged on the neck with an Estoile Argent.
Motto: 'NOBIS HABITATIO FELIX' - A happy dwelling place for us.
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on June 21, 1951.
The arms are based on those of the old family of Fitton - Argent on a Bend Azure three Garbs Or (derived from those of the Earldom of Chester). The wavy bends were added for difference and also allude to the rivers Bollin and Dean.
The bear's head is derived from the heraldry of the Beretons and the silver estoile is from the Handforth arms, a reference to the families that held the Manor of Handforth. The crown is from the insignia of the Greg family, who operated the earliest cotton mills at Styal, refered to by the wreath of cotton.
