The emblems on the shield are from the arms of two benefactors to the borough. The cross-crosslets represent Edward Latymer, who, in 1626 left money in his will for the education of poor boys. The horseshoes represent Sir Nicholas Crisp (1598-1665), who contributed bricks and funds for the parish church. The scallop denoted George Pring who projected the Old Bridge, but died before it was finished. The hammers refer to the name.
