SUPPORTERS: On the dexter an Ox guardant Gules gorged with a Collar Azure charged with a Barrulet wavy Argent and on the sinister a Horse Argent gorged with a like Collar on a Compartment comprising a Grassy Mound furrowed per pale and the lower edge excavated proper.

Granted 25th May 1976.

The arms are based on the former arms of the County Council. The background colour of the shield is Oxford blue, representing Oxford Universty, and the silver wavy bands represent the River Thames and its main tributaries. The wheatsheaf and oak tree with acorns represent the agriculture and woods, which are the other outstanding features of the County.
The red mural crown is an appropriate heraldic emblem for county councils. The mound, in its natural green colour, represents the Mound of Oxford Castle. County government has been inextricably connected with the Castle site since the Castle itself was founded in 1071 by Robert d'Oilli in the reign of William the Conqueror. In the grant of arms, the inclusion of the Castle Mound, which dates from that time, is intended to symbolise this very close connection between the Castle and the County. County government has been transacted on this site for many centuries and it was the place of the ancient Shire Hall and now of the modern County Hall. The County acquired the freehold of the Castle site south of New Road in 1785 and so its historic nature and the County's interest in it can well be understood. The ram is of the famous local breed and symbolises the connection of the County with the wool trade for many hundreds of years. The former arms had such rams as supporters and like them this one wears a blue collar with a wavy silver band laid on it to represent the Oxfordshire rivers, as on the shield.
Following the reorganisation of local government in 1974, Oxfordshire was enlarged by the addition of the City of Oxford and an area of north Berkshire. The red ox is an taken from the arms of the City of Oxford, with its punning red ox crossing a ford. The former arms had an ox's head, with the same significance. The white horse adapted from the former arms of the Berkshire CC, as most of the area transferred from Berkshire is within the Vale of White Horse. Again their collars represent the Oxfordshire rivers. The supporters rest on a grassy mound which is broken by a central furrow and edged with earth, a further allusion to the importance of agriculture in Oxfordshire.

ARMS: Azure a Sun in his Splendour Or on a Chief Ermine a Castle of two Towers between two Pairs of Swords points upwards in saltire Gules.
CREST: On a Wreath of the Colours mounted upon a Horse passant Argent caparisoned Or and Gules a Lady in Tudor costume proper.
SUPPORTERS: On either side an Ox Gules armed and unguled Or gorged with a Collar Argent charged with a Bar wavy Azure.

Motto 'DOMINUS NOBIS SOL ET SCUTUM' - The Lord is our sun and shield.
Granted 28th August 1951, to the Banbury Borough Council.

The shield is based upon the device borne upon the seal, which has been associated with the Borough for many years, namely the figure of the sun linked with the motto in a religious significance. The ermine of the chief commemorates the royal charters granted to the town at various times. The castle recalls the important part played by Banbury Castle in the Civil War, when two great sieges were laid against it in 1644 and 1646. It is shown with two towers in conventional heraldic style, in allusion to Leland's description of the castle as having "two wards". The crossed swords commemorate the Civil War sieges and also an important Roses battle in 1469, and these swords and the castle are all coloured red in keeping with the sanguinary warfare of those days.
The crest itself is simply "a fine lady upon a white horse", from the well-known rhyme which has made the name of Banbury a part of legend and folklore. She is depicted in Tudor costume in commemoration of Mary Tudor who granted the town a charter.
The red oxen refer to the Oxfordshire CC, whose arms at the time bore the head of a red ox taken from the "ox and ford" of the City of Oxford arms. They also refer to the important agricultural market of Banbury. The collars are similar to those now borne by the rams supporting the County arms.

ARMS: Barry nebuly Or and Gules a Hurt charged with a Fleur de Lys Gold.
CREST: On a Wreath of the Colours in front of a Fox’s Mask two Stalks of Wheat in Saltire leaved proper.

Motto 'UT TIBI SIC ALIIS' - Unto thyself so to others.
Granted 30th October 1959, to the Bicester Urban District Council.

CREST: On a Wreath of the Colours issuant from a Wreath of Hawthorn leaved and flowered a Roebuck's Head Proper.

Motto 'FAITH IN SERVICE'.
Granted 21st June 1952, to the Didcot Parish Council.

The crossed lines represent the connection with the railway and the canon represents the Royal Army Ordnance Depot, to show connection with the Army. The ram's head symbolises the connection that Didcot once had with the great wool sales from the sheep farms on the Berkshire Downs, also symbolised by the sheaf of corn. The mitre shows the link with Ralph de Dudcote of Dorchester whose effigy is in All Saints Church, Didcot.
The stag of Berkshire, Didcot's original county, forms the crest.

Motto 'SEMPER COMMUNITAS' - A com­munity forever.
Granted 1974?.

The shield is based upon the ancient seal that has been used by the Town Guardians of Henley and then by Henley Borough Council. The clouds from which radiate the rays of the sun was the royal badge of Edward III and has been used on Henley's seal since 1624.
The mural crown symbolises the town's borough status which extended from 1241 until 1974. It is charged with a fleur de lys, the symbol of St. Mary the Virgin to whom Henley's Parish Church is dedicated. The bishops' mitres, suggests the two episcopal benefactors of the town, Archbishop Laud and Bishop Longland. The Diamond Challenge Sculls denotes Henley's identifica­tion with the sport of rowing in general, and with the Royal Regatta in particular.
The lion is derived from that depicted on the town's seal from 1306, and the ox to denotes Henley's historic links with Oxford and Oxfordshire. The bugle horn hanging from a bowed string, is the regimental badge of the Ox and Bucks Light Infantry, with whom Henley men fought and fell in two world wars. The Tudor Rose is a badge of James I, who is traditionally treated as the founder of Henley Grammar School. The rose also denotes the rent that was annually paid to the crown for the Manor of Phyllis Court. The Catherine Wheel, the symbol of St. Catherine, who is 'the favourite saint of Henley' according to the historian Burn. The Bridgemen's Chantry was formerly in a chapel within Henley's Parish Church, dedicated to St. Catherine and endowed by the town with a considerable rental. The compartment denotes the town's situation in the region where the grass-covered Chilterns sweep down to the Thames.
The badge is a re-arrangement of the charges shown on the shield. A crowned letter H is shown within an oval surrounded by clouds from which radiate the rays of the sun.

ARMS: Argent an Ox Gules armed and unguled Or passing over a Ford of Water in base barry wavy Azure and Argent.
CREST: On a Wreath of the Colours a demi Lion rampant guardant Azure crowned with an Imperial Crown proper holding between the paws a Rose Gules charged with another Argent.
SUPPORTERS: On the dexter side an Elephant Ermines eared Argent tusked Or collared and lined Or and on the sinister side a Beaver Vert its tail barry wavy [= scaly] Azure and Argent ducally gorged and lined Or.

Motto 'FORTIS EST VERITS' - Strong is truth.
Arms, crest and supporters recorded at the Visitation on 12 August 1634. The crest differs from that granted with the supporters in 1574.

The device on the shield, which appeared on a 14th century seal, recalls the suggestion that a ford for oxen crossing the River Thames was the origin of this famous city. An alternative theory is that the syllable "ox" is a variant of an old Celtic word meaning "water".
The crest is composed of royal emblems.
The significance of the supporters is unknown. The beaver probably refers to the River Thames, but also appears in the arms of a family associated with the City's history, as does the elephant.
The shield is sometimes shown encircled with a blue ribbon charged with four golden roses and four golden fleurs-de-lis set alternately. The lion in the crest is sometimes shown gold and scattered with blue fleurs-de-lis.

Motto 'ET PATRIBUS ET POSTERITATI' - For our ancestors and posterity.
Granted 1981?.

The South Oxfordshire District was formed by the amalgamation of the Borough of Henley-on-Thames, the Borough of Wallingford, the Thame Urban District, the Bullington Rural District, the Henley Rural District and the Wallingford Rural District.

The interlaced gold lines, like those in the arms of Didcot TC, represent that town's connection with the railways. The sunburst, seen in the Henley TC arms and the former Borough of Henley's seal is a badge of Edward III. The portcullis is from the arms of the Wallingford TC and the two wheatsheaves are from the Thame town badge.
The mural crown is symbolic of municipal authority and also signifies the ancient Roman walled town at Dorchester. The golden dragon is that of the Kingdom of Wessex and combined with the mitre, recalls the King of Wessex, who was baptized into Christianity at Dorchester and for the diocese once based there.
The ox is derived from the arms of the Oxfordshire CC and the lion represents England. Both are 'gorged' with a blue crown symbolising the links with the Sovereign extending from the Royal Castle at Wallingford to the Royal Flight of the RAF at Benson. The beech branches refer to the Chiltern villages and the compartment upon which the supporters stand suggest the Oxfordshire plain. The Thames is represented by symbolic water, traversed by a stone bridge.

ARMS: Argent two Bars wavy on a Chief wavy Vert a representation of the White Horse of Uffington facing to the sinister proper.
CREST: On a Wreath of the Colours an Ancient Crown Or between two Lightning Flashes Argent.
SUPPORTERS: On the dexter side a mitred Abbot proper holding a Book Gules and on the sinister side a Saxon King proper crowned Or habited Argent and cloaked Azure girt with a Sword in its Scabbard Gules the hilt and pommel Or and holding in the Sinister hand a Scroll Argent.

Motto 'SUB EQUO AEQUITAS' - Under the horse there is equity.
Granted ?.

The Vale of White Horse District was formed by the amalgamation of the Borough of Abingdon, the Wantage Urban District, the Abingdon Rural District, the Faringdon Rural District and part of the Wantage Rural District.

The main feature of the shield is naturally the White Horse of Uffington, that is carved into the chalk hillside, and was formerly used as a badge by the Faringdon RDC. The wavy bars represent the rivers of the Vale.
The ancient crown symbolises the associations of Anglo-Saxon royalty with the District and the lightning flashes represent the atomic research establishment.
The mitred Abbot in commemorates Abingdon Abbey, and he holds a book to illustrate the importance of Abingdon as a seat of learning through the centuries. The other supporter is intended to be King Alfred the Great, who was born in Wantage in the year 849 and he holds a scroll in honour of his fame as a law giver.

ARMS: Vert on a Fess wavy Argent between in chief a sinister Glove of the last between two Leopards' Faces each holding in the mouth a Shuttle Or and in base a representation of the Butter Cross at Witney Gold a Barrulet wavy Azure.
CREST: On a Wreath of the Colours upon a Mount Vert between a Crescent and a Star Or a Paschal Lamb proper.

Motto 'INGENIO FLOREMUS' - .
Granted 9th September 1955, to the Witney Urban District Council.

The white and blue wavy band on a green background represents the surrounding countryside and the River Windrush on which the town stands. For centuries Witney has been associated with blankets and in 1711 the weavers obtained a charter from Queen Anne incorporating them as a Company and Blanket Hall was built in the High Street. Here all blankets had to be taken for measuring and weighing, thus ensuring that the very high quality of the blankets was maintained. The two leopard's faces holding shuttles are from the Blanket Makers arms, which appears beneath the one-handed clock on Blanket Hall. The glove represents the gloving industry, for which the town is also famous. At the base is the Buttercross that stands in the heart of Witney, it is said to be the base of an ancient preaching cross - of uncertain age.
The Paschal lamb was used as a device before the arms were granted and the mount on which it stands can be seen as refering to the site (know as the Mount), where the Bishops of Winchester built a palace some time between 1047 and 1070.
