BROXBOURNE
Additions : 1974 Cheshunt, Hoddesdon
Origin/meaning :
The arms have a parted field, the left side being coloured ermine to suggest the Roman Road of Ermine Street. The division of the shield is wavy, for the River Lea and the New River. The chevron recalls the chevrons of the Say family, one of whom has a memorial brass in Broxbourne Church. In the top left corner is a combined rose and thistle for King James I and VI of
England and Scotland. He is associated with the manor of Theobalds. In the top right is an oak tree, for the Goffs Oak area. In the base is a Catherine wheel, emblem of the patron saint of Hoddesdon.
The badger in the crest suggests the borough's name -brock meaning badger. He supports a cross from the Meux family arms.
The motto COR UNUM: VIA UNA, meaning One Heart One Way, is adapted from the
motto of the Cecil family.
