Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on June 2, 1958.
The various elements of the arms relate to the history of the area. The red chevron with the bishop's mitre alludes to Roche Abbey while the parrots ("popinjays" in heraldic terms) were taken from the arms of the Lumley family, Earls of Scarbrough, who have been lords of the manor of Maltby since the 18th century.
The arms of the earl are described as 'argent, a fess gules, between three popijays vert, collared of the second' = a white shield with a red strip across the middle, above the stripe are two green parrots with red collars, below is one green parrot with a red collar.
The supporters are two parrots with wings expanded, with green beaks and red legs.
Literature : Briggs, 1971.
