Civic Heraldry of the United Kingdom England ISLE OF WIGHT Additions : 1995 Medina, South Wight Origin/meaning : The arms were granted in 1938. At the centre of the shield is Carrisbrooke Castle. The blue field and gold anchors around this show that the County is an island. The crest is a gold mural crown, which will be seen over the arms of several County Councils. In the case of the Isle of Wight, three blue anchors have been added. The horse supporter stands for farming, the seahorse for seafaring. They are coloured white recalling the links with the ancient Kingdom of Kent. Literature : Image and information provided by Laurence Jones (laurencejones@eircom.net)
