Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on February 9, 1976.

The blue and white border represents the sea and the three crosses symbolise the numerous Saxon and Norman churches in the Borough. The sheaves and white rose, like those in the arms of the Pocklington RDC, refer to agriculture and Yorkshire. The ram's head, like that in the arms of the Driffield UDC, refers to the area as a great agricultural centre. The embattled chief is like that of the Borough of Bridlington.

The two croziers stand for the part religion has played in the area. The eagle is like that in the arms of the former East Riding CC. The ear of barley is a token of the product so largely grown in North Wolds as well as the malting mill on the outskirts of Bridlington. The mound upon which the croziers rest represents the Wolds in general and by its 'V' shaped indentation at the summit, archaeological excavations which have been carried out in the past 100 years.

The mermaid represents the beauty of the North Wolds Coastline and the lion simply England. The Bridge represents the banks of the River Derwent and Stamford Bridge.
