Motto: 'TERRA MARIQUE' - On land and sea
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on October 24, 1950.
The shield and crest each represent the union of Thornton and Cleveleys.
In the former, Thornton is represented by the old windmill, built 1794 and still standing, and said to be the finest of several in the Fylde area. It is placed on a green field to indicate the agricultute of Thornton. Cleveleys is represented by the blue and white sea, golden sands, and red sun for the famous sunsets observed there.
The coronet of Lancaster contains the reguardant wolf crest of the Fleetwoods, former Lords of the Manor which included Thornton, supporting a banner of St Andrew, patron of the modern parish of Cleveleys.
The motto indicates the district's dependance on the land and sea for its livelihood, combining an agricultural area and a seaside resort.
