Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on April 25, 1984.
The red shield echoes that of Warwickshire County Council. Across the shield runs a white and blue wave for the River Avon. Swans are closely associated with the town of Stratford and they hold an acorn for forests and a wheatear for agriculture.
The gold lion in the crest was in the Southam RDC crest and the red bull was found in that of Alcester RDC. They support a cogwheel, representative of the engineering industry.
