Motto: 'LIBERA DEINDE FIDELIS' - Faithful because free

Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on June 8, 1893.

The woolpack represents the traditional local clothing industry and is taken from the 18th century town seal. Centrally above it is a red rose as a reminder that the first charter was granted in Tudor times. The two shields, one either side of the rose, commemorate John Perrior, the first town warden, and Salisbury Cathedral which held the manor.

The crest is a ram, emphasising the town's early association with the wool industry and taken from the crest of the Clothworkers' Company.

The arms are now used by the town council.
