The arms were officially granted on October 26, 1948.
The ship alludes to the district's historical background, and the raven is not only the emblem of the Danish invaders, but also represents the Parish of Corby. The wheatsheaves stand for agriculture and the mitre refers to the many monastic foundations in the area.
The man of the woods recalls the ancient forest of Kesteven. The banner shows the arms of Willoughby, for the Earl of Ancaster, Baron Willoughby d'Eresby and Baron Aveland.
