CRAYFORD
Incorporated into : 1965 Bexley
Official blazon
Arms: Azure a Horse forcene Argent on a Chief of the last twp bars wavy of the field surmounted by a Falcon volant affrontée Gules.
Motto: 'FORTITER ET RECTE' - Boldly and rightly
Origin/meaning
The arms were granted on January 22, 1945.
The horse is from the arms of the Kent County Council and was also the standard of the Saxon chieftain Hengist, who reputedly defeated the Britons at Crayford. The two waves represent the rivers Thames and Cray, and the falcon recalls the first heavier than air flying machine, which was constructed by Sir Hiram Maxim and flown on rails in a field in Crayford in 1894.
