HUYTON-WITH-ROBY
Incorporated into: 1974: Knowsley
Official blazon
Arms: Azure an Eagle wings addorsed and inverted Or perched upon a Cradle proper therein an Infant also proper swaddled Gules on a Chief dancetty of the second three Roses also Gules barbed and seeded proper.
Crest: Issuant from a Mural Crown Or a demi Wolf Sable charged on the shoulder with a Fret Argent gorged with a Strap Gold buckled Gules and supporting a Staff of the first flying therefrom a Banner Azure charged with a Cross Moline also Gold.
Motto: 'CUM AQUILA ALTE VOLEMUS' - Let us soar high with the eagle
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on May 10, 1954.
The gold and blue shield is derived from the heraldry of the Lathom family who held the Manors of Huyton, Roby and neighbouring Knowsley in the twelfth century. In 1395 the Lathom eastates in Roby and Knowsley passed to the Stanley family (later Earls of Derby) through the marriage of Isabella de Lathom to Sir John Stanley. The Stanley crest, the famous Eagle and Child, forms the main charged in the arms. The red roses represent Lancashire, three in number for Huyton, Roby and the hamlet of Thingwall.
The mural crown and black wolf are from the crest of the Woolfall family, descendants of the Lathoms, who held the manors of Knowsley, Huyton, Roby and Woolfall, from which they took their name. The mural crown is also a common emblem of civic government and the gold cross is the insignia of the Molyneux family of Sefton, who later held the Manor.
