The heraldic fountains or roundels of wavy silver and blue bars represent Harrogate's many medicinal springs. The gold buglehorns with gold strings are from the arms of Sir William Slingsby, of Scriven Park, who discovered the first spring, the Tewitt Well, over three hundred years ago, and so was instrumental in bringing prosperity to the town. The silver lion on the red and blue chief, denotes that this fashionable Yorkshire Spa has been favoured with the visits of Royalty. | |||
The tower battlements are emblems of local government, and these are in natural colouring, as also are the tree trunk and serpents. The black cock with red wattles and comb is suggested by a device upon a banner granted by King Louis XI of France to a corporation of physicians about the middle of the 15th century, and has reference to the healing qualities of the Harrogate waters, as do the serpents. | |||
