    Summary

    Description
    English: The castle represents the stronghold built at Farnham in the twelfth century by Henri du Blois, Bishop of Winchester, and the mitre and pastoral staff allude to the town’s long associations with the Sees of Winchester and Guildford.

    The green field, the stag’s head, and the oak refer to the parks and woodlands of the district, while the ears of wheat stand for agriculture, and the sprig of hops for produce for which Farnham was formerly famous.

    The stone axe refers to the prehistory of the district. The motto ‘By Worth’ is taken from the name of one of the town’s benefactors, John Byworth. A clothier by trade, he presented the town in 1623 with the ‘Byworth Cup’, a replica of which can be seen in the Museum of Farnham.
