WYCOMBE

Additions : 1974 High Wycombe, Marlow UDC, Wycombe RDC

Arms (crest) of Wycombe

Official blazon

Origin/meaning

The Council does not have an officially granted coat of arms but the Chairman's Badge of Office has a similar function.

The design is made up of symbols representative of the Council's area, and starting at the top are:

A chequered diamond (representing "Chequers" the country home of British Prime Minister).

An oak tree (representing the use of the oak in cabinet making particularly, and in the furniture industry generally).

A semi-circle (symbolising the Chiltern Hills) with superimposed thereon, the Whiteleaf Cross.

Two wavy lines (symbolising the River Thames).

Coat of arms (crest) of Wycombe

The arms as used on a JaJa postcard +/- 1905
