[[File:sedgefield.jpg|center|Arms (crest) of {{PAGENAME}}]] | |||
The arms were designed in the 1980s and are not officially granted. | |||
The arms show as Saint George’s Cross and Sedgefield Bull Ring, which is synonymous with the famous Shrove Tuesday Ball Game in the town. | |||
The original four emblems associated with the town have been preserved within each quadrant of the shield. These are as follows: the Market Cross which was erected on Cross Hill in 1312 (when Sedgefield was granted the right to hold a market); St Edmund’s Church; a sprig of Sedge grass from which the town name is thought to derive; and a compass which represents the eight main thoroughfares on which Sedgefield stands. | |||
