On the chevron was placed a heraldic fountain for the many springs and pools of the town, with on either side a silver sprig of oak.

The lions appeared in the arms of three local families: Burgersh, Fellowes and Hardwick.

The crest above the shield featured a mural crown as symbol of local government.
