The red and white of the wreath and mantling are the County liveries. The red fleurs de lys of which the crown is composed come from the arms of George Stephenson, who lived at Ravenstone and built the Leicester and Swannington, one of the earliest railways. The gold lion is that of the Beaumont family of Coleorton and Grace Dieu, and the banner shows the arms of the Shirleys, Earls Ferrers, of Staunton Harold. | The red and white of the wreath and mantling are the County liveries.

The motto is a reflection of the Council's progressive attitude, and has a local significance in that it comes from one of the works of the late Elizabethan dramatists, Beaumont and Fletcher, Francis Beaumont being one of the Coleorton family. | The motto is a reflection of the Council's progressive attitude, and has a local significance in that it comes from one of the works of the late Elizabethan dramatists, Beaumont and Fletcher, Francis Beaumont being one of the Coleorton family.'''[[Literature]]''': | ||
