The mermaid carrying her gold trident and wearing a Roman helmet, was in mythology, the protector of fishermen, her helmet signifies the settlement of Holderness, by the Romans. The Triton waving his sword and wearing the Danish horned helmet represents the Vikings who crossed the North Sea, landed on our coast and penetrated the Humber creeks to settle in the fertile plain of Holderness. Many Holderness villages bear names of Danish origin and the speech of the Danes contributed greatly to the old dialect of the area. | The mermaid carrying her gold trident and wearing a Roman helmet, was in mythology, the protector of fishermen, her helmet signifies the settlement of Holderness, by the Romans.
