Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on May 10, 1951.
The red cross and black chief are from the arms of the Knights Templar, who were granted land by Gilbert de Clare, Earl of Pembroke. This land became the Parish of Baldock and the chevrons are from the arms of the de Clares. The sheaf of barley refers to the malting industry and the hart's head to the County. The lilies refer to the dedication of the parish church to St. Mary.
the head of the centurion's standard recalls the Roman settlement at Baldock.
