The salmon on the chevron are for the important ancient fishing industry. The towns close association with the Priory Church is shown by the cross form at the apex of the chevron and by the crest, which shows the North face of the West Tower of the Priory Church placed in a mural crown, denoting the status of Municipal Borough, with the Chi-Rho monogram which means Christ, Greek letters used since Roman times.The supporters are the lions of England (gold) and Redvers (blue) - half and half, the earliest charter of the Borough being granted by Baldwin de Redvers. They wear Saxon crowns to refer to the Saxon origins of the Borough and rest their hind paws on tree stumps, to show the proximity of the New Forest. | The salmon on the chevron are for the important ancient fishing industry.
