Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on March 3, 1992.
The arms are based on those of the Bysshop family "Argent, on a bend cotised gules, three bezants". This family held the manor. On either side of the bend are are arranged crossed keys and a pelican in her piety. These represent the dedication of the Anglican and Catholic parish churches to Saint Peter and Corpus Christi respectively.
The crest shows a golden oriole and a thorn branch. This recalls the sighting of fourteen of these rare birds on Henfield Common in the early nineteenth century.
The motto - DOMINE SALVA NOS - means Lord Save Us.
