Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on March 3, 1930.
The cross represents the monastery founded in 681 by Benedict Biscop and endowed with lands by King Egfrid. It was here the Venerable Bede wrote his famous book, represented in the shield. He was buried in the monastery, but his body was removed to Durham by Edward the Confessor. The ships refer to the port and shipbuilding.
The crest is based upon that of Sir Charles Mark Palmer, through whose great industrial enterprises Jarrow rose from a mere village to its present importance.
Before 1930 the borough used other unofficial arms, see below :
