The black background of the shield, the chevron and holly leaves are taken from the arms used by Pershore Abbey. The anthills in the Abbey's arms are replaced by two plums in the top part of the shield and a wheatsheaf in the base, refering to the local horticultural and agricultural pursuits. The white and blue wavy base represent the River Avon.

The coronet is designed for used by rural district councils and the pear tree is taken from the arms of the Worcestershire CC.
