Beddington and Wallington was, from 1915 to 1965, a local government district in north east Surrey, England.
[2] The neighbouring County Borough of Croydon made an attempt to annex Beddington, but its private bill was defeated in parliament.
[5] The petition was successful, and the royal charter was presented to the charter mayor, Sir Richard Meller MP by Lord Ashcombe, the Lord Lieutenant of Surrey at a ceremony in Beddington Park attended by 10,000 people on 15 September 1937.
These included a public library, a fire brigade and the provision of seventeen pleasure grounds and open spaces.
[13] Across the centre of the shield was a "fess embattled", representing the fortified walls of the reputed Roman town of Noviomagus at Woodcote.
The Tudor roses stood for Henry VIII and Elizabeth I who visited the seat of the Carew family of Beddington.
The small shield or "inescutcheon" in the centre of the arms bore an aeroplane flying over a rising sun.
This recalled that the manor of Wallington was anciently held by the Dymock family, who were Hereditary Champions of England.
