Coat of arms of Huddersfield

The design was partly based on the arms of the family of Ramsden of Byrom, owners of the manors of Almondbury and Huddersfield: Argent on a chevron between three fleurs-de-lis Sable, as many rams' heads couped at the neck of the first.

[1]The crest of a ram's head is similar to that granted to the borough of Barrow-in-Furness in the previous year; this also referred to the Ramsden family arms.

The formal description, or blazon, of the arms is: Or on a chevron between three Rams passant Sable as many towers argent.

And for the Crest on a Wreath of the Colours a Rams head couped argent armed Or gorged with a collar sable in the mouth A Sprig of the Cotton-tree slipped and fructed proper.
