Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on April 27, 1955.
The background of royal ermine, the red stag's head and the green chief symbolise the Royal Forest. The red arrow, between the stag's antlers, alludes to the famous tradition of William Rufus' death. It is surmounted by the stirrup from the Verderers' Hall at Lyndhurst, formerly used to assess the size of dogs. The ancient royal crowns and the head of the crosier represent the connections of the Norman Kings and Beaulieu Abbey with the area.
The crest is an ancient ship with one sail, with the old flag of St. George formerly flown by our ships. On the sail a gold acorn against black represents the harmonious co-existence of the growing industrial district and the ancient forest community, and the motto echoes the same idea. At the top of the sail are three oil drops on gold to symbolise the importance, both local and national, of the Fawley Refinery. The crest thus combines the shipping and industries of the New Forest Rural District.
