Civic Heraldry of the United Kingdom England WREXHAM Additions : 1996 Wrexham-Maelor and parts of Glyndwr Origin/meaning : The arms are largely derived from the arms of the two former Wrexham authorities. The shield combines their green "field", ermine spots and gold crosiers with the blue lion on gold of the Hanmers of Maelor and a wave for the River Dee in an heraldic map of the new area. The crest is based on a red mural (walled) crown symbolizing brick-making and Madog ap Meredydd's castle ad Overton. The Welsh Red Dragon rests a foot on a black diamond edged with gold, for coal and other mineral wealth, and the tree stands for forestry and the rural areas. The supporters are Welsh dragons holding a green pennon for agriculture; one dragon is charged with a gold symbol of Mars for iron founding and the other with a gold cogwheel for engineering. The motto from Virgil means "Hard work overcomes all things". Literature : Image and information provided by Laurence Jones.
