Origin/meaning

The arms were granted on August 17, 1901.

The borough derives its name from an ancient chapel dedicated to St. Mary. The chapel was called St. Mary-le-Bourne; le Bourne meaning the Tyburn Brook, which is symbolised by the wavy bars.

The lilies and the rose were derived from the arms of Barking Abbey, which bore three white lilies and three gold roses on blue, within a red border charged with eight silver roundels.
