LISKEARD RURAL DISTRICT COUNCIL |
ARMS: Or two Cornish Choughs respectant proper perched on the exterior lobes of a Fleur-de-Lys Vert on a Chief Sable between two Garbs a Lymphad Gold sail Argent flying Flags and Pennon of St. George. Motto 'DICTIS FACTA SUPPETANT' - Let deeds correspond with words. |
|
The fleurs-de-lys and choughs are based on the Seal of the Borough of Liskeard, with the birds of the seal replaced by Cornish choughs in reference to Cornwall, one of which appears in the County Council crest. It is likely the fleur-de-lys forms pun on the first syllable of Liskeard. The lymphad and garbs doubtless refer to the district's maritime and agricultural interests. The motto is a quote from Plautus. |
WEST PENWITH RURAL DISTRICT COUNCIL |
ARMS: Azure on a Chevron between in chief two Lymphads in sail and in base a Roundel Or charged with a Cross pommy Gules a Chevron engrailed Sable charged with five Bezants. Motto 'ASPICE FINEM' - Look to the goal or Look to the end. |

The chevron gives a stylized representation of the whole Penwith peninsula. The black chevron on gold gives the County and Duchy liveries, and suggests the shape of the Penwith peninsula with to the South St. Michael's Mount, represented by the traditional cross of St. Michael set on a golden roundel. The bezants or golden roundels are from the arms of the Duchy and County of Cornwall. The two lymphads allude to the fishing and boat building industries. |
