Incorporated into : 1965 Newham

Arms : Per fess Gules and Or in chief a Ship in full sail flags flying proper and two Hammers in saltire Or in base three Chevrons Gules over all on a Pale Ermine a Crozier Or.
Crest : On a Wreath of the Colours in front of a Sword point downwards proper pommel and hilt Or and a Crozier of the last in saltire a Sun rising proper.
Motto: DEO CONFIDEMUS
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on 1887.
The crosier found in arms and crest represents Stratford-Langthorne Abbey, holders of the manor. The chevronells are from the arms of William de Montfitchet, founder of the Abbey. The colours of red and gold have been reversed from the Montfitchet arms. The ship shows that the Borough houses much of London's docklands. The hammers stand for industry and also refer to the name Ham.
The motto means: We Trust In God.
