The chevron division of the field suggests clear blue skies and a red sandstone hill, as one of the possible meanings of the name Penrith is "red hill" in the old Cumbric language. The rays of light, which emanate from the top of the hill, represent beacon pike at the top of Beacon Hill. The ancient castle alludes to Penrith Castle, anciently a royal residence, to the fortified character of the town in ancient days and to its many historical associations. The sheaves of corn indicate Penrith's agriculture.
The gold crown refers to the Charter of 1223 and to the many other royal associations of the district. The St. Andrew's cross hitherto used as a device by Penrith is perpetuated and also refers to the dedication of the Parish Church.
