HORNSEA (Urban district council)
Incorporated into : 1974 Holderness (1996 East Riding of Yorkshire)
Official blazon
Arms : Or three Bars wavy Azure issuant from the base a Sun in splendour Gules a Chief wavy Sable thereon a Fountain between two Roses Argent barbed and seeded proper.
Crest : Issuant from a Mural Crown Or a Sun in splendour Gules surmounted of a Rose Argent barbed and seeded proper; Mantled Gules doubled Or.
Motto : 'HEALTH AND HAPPINESSS'
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on June 24, 1955.
The blue and gold waves represent the sea and sands, the white roses are for Yorkshire. The heraldic fountain probably refers to Hornsea Mere, the largest natural lake in Yorkshire. The sun is appropriate to a resort town and is easterly position and the mural crown is a common symbol of local government.
