The principal patron of our diocese is Our Lady, conceived without sin. She is represented in the chief by a silver fleur-de-lys on a blue background. Both the fleur-de-lys and blue are symbols traditionally associated with Our Lady. The blue and the wavy division line refers to the waters which form a major part of the diocesan boundaries - the Thames and the Kent coast.
