Lincolnshire

County

The arms were officially granted on April 8, 1977.

The wavy bend symbolises the coastline and the many waterways in the county. The ermine bend symbolises Ermine Street, a Roman road that runs through the county. The two fleur-de-lis are taken from the arms of the city of Lincoln.

The lapwing on the crest is a typical bird in the county. The two feathers on the crest are the symbol of the Prince of Wales and symbolise the fact that on 7th February 1301 King Edward I granted his son the title of Prince of Wales, near Nettleham in the county.The supporters are the so-called Lincolnshire Yellowbellies, or soldiers of the 10th Regiment of Foot.
