===Origin/meaning=== | |||
The arms were officially granted on June 8, 1948. | |||
{{ | The blue and white waves are an obvious reference to the sea. The heron is allusive to the name, and was the device of the Council before the arms were obtained (see image below). The crosses, ecclesiastical emblems of Chist Church, denote the cathedral church of the Diocese and the parish church of Herie Bay. | ||
The lymphad recalls the Roman occupation of the fort of Regulbium, now Reculver, and the ox is from the arms of Sir Henry Oxenden, one of the chief landowners in the district when Herne Bay was developed in the eighteen-thirties. | |||
