Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on July 31, 1952.
The green areas and wheatsheaves allude to agriculture and the black areas to coal-mining. The stags' heads are from the arms of the Duke of Portland, a local landowner, and the tilting lances refer to a former tournament field licensed by Richard I for public tourneys.
The oak sprigs and stag's head represent Sherwood Forest, and the 'black diamond' stands for coal.
