Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on July 25, 1927.
The diocese was constituted in 1927 out of the diocese of Winchester as a result of the growth of the town of Portsmouth and the relative isolation of the Isle of Wight from the city of Winchester.
These arms are a differenced version of those of the parent Diocese of Winchester, which are shown in the base of the shield. In chief appears a lymphad upon the sea, placed there to indicate the maritime importance of Portsmouth and the long-standing association of the town with the Royal Navy. It recalls such varied events as the Naval Reviews and the loss of the Royal George.
