The basic colours of gold and blue are from the arms of the [ | The basic colours of gold and blue are from the arms of the [[Surrey|County Council]], which in turn derive from the gold and blue chequers of the Warrenne family, Earls of Surrey. They were also the colours of the Mortimer family, who inherited the manor of Walton Leigh, and from whom descended Edward IV, to whom in turn the manor devolved. The blue and white wave represents the River Thames. The two Tudor roses, refer to the two notable Tudor buildings in the district - Oatlands Palace, a residence of Henry VIII, and Ashley Park, built by Wolsey. <br>They also indicate the joining of the manors of Walton, Walton Leigh and Ebso, or Apps Court, at the time of the union of the Houses of Lancaster and York under Henry VII. | ||
The eagle refers to the Roman associations of the district, notably the story of the attempted crossing of the river at Cowey Stakes, and the place on St. George's Hill, known as Caesar's Camp.

Across the wave are two "pallets" representing two ancient bridges - that over the Mole, formerly the meeting place of the Hundred Moot of Elmbridge, and that over the Wey carrying the road from London to Chertsey Abbey. In later times there have also been two Walton Bridges - the wooden one built about 1750, and the brick and stone one which replaced it. | The eagle refers to the Roman associations of the district, notably the story of the attempted crossing of the river at Cowey Stakes, and the place on St. George's Hill, known as Caesar's Camp.
