The lion is derived from that depicted on the town's seal from 1306, and the ox to denotes Henley's historic links with Oxford and Oxfordshire. The bugle horn hanging from a bowed string, is the regimental badge of the Ox and Bucks Light Infantry, with whom Henley men fought and fell in two world wars. The Tudor Rose is a badge of James I, who is traditionally treated as the founder of Henley Grammar School. The rose also denotes the rent that was annually paid to the crown for the Manor of Phyllis Court. The Catherine Wheel, the symbol of St. Catherine, who is 'the favourite saint of Henley' according to the historian Burn. The Bridgemen's Chantry was formerly in a chapel within Henley's Parish Church, dedicated to St. Catherine and endowed by the town with a considerable rental. The compartment denotes the town's situation in the region where the grass-covered Chilterns sweep down to the Thames. | The lion is derived from that depicted on the town's seal from 1306, and the ox to denotes Henley's historic links with Oxford and Oxfordshire.
