Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on March 26, 1953.
The two pine cones on a field of green represent the pine woods behind the town, and below there is a sixteenth century fishing vessel in full sail.
The lobster in a ring of gold signifies the wealth of Sheringham is derived from the sea.
The arms are currently used by the town council.
