HAXBY Town Council
District : York city
Official blazon
Argent two Pallets wavy Azure over all a Lily slipped and leaved between six Oak Leaves three and three palewise in orle proper on a Chief Vert between an Eagle displayed and a Viking Cross Or a Rose of the first barbed and seeded also proper.
Origin/meaning
The arms were adopted on May 12, 2014, but have not been officially granted.
The main central feature is a White Lily representing St. Mary's, the Parish Church of Haxby. The Lily is set over two vertical blue wavy bands symbolizing the River Foss, which forms part of the Eastern boundary of the town and Westfield Beck which forms part of the Western boundary of the town. At each side are Oak Leafs representing the Royal Forest of Galtres in which, in the Middle Ages, Haxby was located. At the top on a Green field, representing the surrounding natural environment of the town including Haxby Moor, is the White Rose of York. With at either side an Eagle, alluding to Haxby's Roman heritage and a Cross alluding to its Viking heritage.
