Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on January 24, 1919.

The fleur de lys bas been taken from the arms of the old Kings of Gwent; the rod of Aesculapius represents medicine, and the lamp symbolises nursing. Longfellow's poem, " Santa Filomena," spoke of Florence Nightingale as " the lady with the lamp."

The motto, " Goreu Olud Iechyd," is Welsh for "Best Wealth Health."
