 Armorial
Bearings of the Ware Town Council
By letters patent in 1956 the College of Arms granted Armorial
Bearings to the Ware Urban District Council.
On the 16th April 1975 Her Majesty The Queen was graciously pleased
to make an order in Council (to be effective on May 19th 1975) whereby
the Armorial Bearings of the Ware Urban District Council were to
be transferred to the Ware Town Council.
The details of the coat of arms are as follows:
The blue field of the shield alludes to the river and the barge
rudders striped with the livery colours of the City of London (red)
refer to the free entry of the Ware bargemen to the Port of London.
The sheaves of barley (gold) refer to malting and the post horns
(gold) to the town’s coaching inns.
The motto “cave” meaning “beware” was suggested
by the College of Heralds and intended as yet another pun on the
Town’s name.
