Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on September 6, 1985.
Waverley's coat of arms is a shield quartered with a fleur-de-lis cross and each quarter shows a symbol denoting the four principal areas of the Borough. They are the Pepperpot for Godalming, Farnham's castle, the Cranleigh crane and oak leaves for Haslemere. The river Wey, which flows through the borough, is represented by a wavy blue line - thus forming a canting element. At the top of the crest are the three lancet windows from the ruins of Waverley Abbey.
