Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on September 10, 1935.
The black bendlets are from the arms of the Radcliffe family, the cross from those of Pilkington, and the red rose is that of the County of Lancashire.
The pheon is from the arms of the Egerton family, Barons Grey de Radcliffe, and the lion and fleurs-de-lys are from the arms of the City of Lancaster, the black and white of the latter being symbolic of the coal and cotton industries.
The supporters are those of the Radcliffe family, differenced by the addition of mural crowns, symbol of civic government.
