The base of the shield has blue and silver waves and refers to the two rivers which meet within the boundaries. At the top of the shield the sheep's head represents the ancient name Sheep Ford. The quill represents the writing of Robert Bloomfield. The open book is for Shefford's Market Charter, which dates from 1225. The crook, whilst reinforcing the association with the early sheep crossing also forms a symbol for a market town.
