Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on April 18, 1982.

The shield is divided by way of dancette, and the chief point depicts three church spires associated with the town of Magherafelt, and in the base a church bell proper.

The crest shows on a grassy mount a plough betweeen two gold sheaves of corn representing the district's link with agriculture. The supporters are on the dexter (left side) a roan horse and on the sinister (right side) an elk, both ardorned around the neck with a moral crown and holding a spray of three flax flowers denoting the association with the local linen industry.

The motto means 'With Faithfulness and Service'.
