The shield symbolises the topographical area and its background through heraldic references to its six former constituent authorities. It is divided into an area of green, suggesting agriculture, white and black, indicating coal mining. On the green chief are the two sheaves from the chief of Coalville's arms and those of former Ashby-de-la-Zouch R.D.C., emphasising the agriculture of the rural areas. Between them is a gold mitre charged with two red crosses from the arms of Archbishop Laud, an historical reference to Ibstock with which he was associated. On the white are two ash trees indicating the Ashby districts, and in the base, against the black portion, is the white castle common to the former Ashby-de-la-Zouch U.D.C. and Castle Donington R.D.C. arms upon a rock suggesting Charnwood ("rock for est"). | The shield symbolises the topographical area and its background through heraldic references to its six former constituent authorities.
