LONGBRIDGE DEVERILL PARISH COUNCIL

Unitary Authority: Wiltshire

Official blazon

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on April 29, 2015.

The Wyverns are for Wessex, of which Wiltshire was the central part with its green fields and downs. The chevron is a long bridge and the emblem on it the symbol of Saints Peter and Paul, to whom the Parish church is dedicated, while the blue stands for the River Deverill that runs through the village and under the bridge with the shell being a token of pilgrimage and thus of all personal spiritual endeavour (and also to be found within the decoration in the church as a detail in the Brocklebank arms).

The motto is a reference to the Thyne family.
