The cross, crown and orb refer to King Æthelstan, from whom Malmesbury received a charter in 924. The mitre, lion and crozier are from the insignia of Malmesbury Abbey, a religious house dedicated to Saint Peter and Saint Paul. It was one of the few English houses with a continuous history from the 7th century through to the Dissolution of the Monasteries. | |||
