| ====Origin/meaning====
| |
| Although first registered at the College of Heralds in 1619, Canterbury's coat of arms is medieval in origin and appeared on official documents as long ago as 1380.
| |
| | |
| Canterbury's links with Royalty - it has been a royal city since at least the 6<sup>th</sup> century - are denoted by the heraldic leopard, whilst the three black choughs are taken from the arms ascribed to Thomas Becket.
