ROYAL WOOTTON BASSETT (Town Council)
Town in : Wiltshire
Official blazon
Arms : Gules a Chevron Argent between in chief two Lozenges and in base a Lion passant guardant Or.
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on August 30, 2011.
The town had long used unofficial Arms consisting of a chevron between three lozenges: the newly granted design adapts this by adding a Royal Lion to reflect the Royal favour accorded in recognition of Wootton Bassett’s role in recent repatriations of fallen servicemen and women.
