The upper part of the shield shows three sheep on a green background, depicting our connection with wool production and its three parishes from which the town was formed. The lower section is a copy of the original arms of Lord Windsor, who in 1543 was granted the manors of Hampton and Avening and many acres of land surrounding Nailsworth.
