The arms reflect the union of three civil parishes to create the district in 1871 - Church Gresley, Sutton and Newhall and Swadlincote. The red and ermine vairy border is from the arms of the Gresley family, who took their name from the parish of Church Gresley. The red cross and the fleurs-de-lys refer to the dedication of the parish church to St. George and St. Mary. The quartered ermine and red field of the shield was taken from the arms of the Stanhope family, Earls of Harrington and the Tudor roses were taken from the arms of [[Derbyshire]] County Council. | The arms reflect the union of three civil parishes to create the district in 1871 - Church Gresley, Sutton and Newhall and Swadlincote.
