The current arms replaced those granted in 1934, since the changes in local government in 1965 and 1974 meant the area and population of the County had altered greatly since the original grant. The main colours of the field are the same as those of the former arms, where the blue, and also the gold parts, are derived from the arms of the Warrennes, ancient Earls of Surrey. The black is suggested by the fields of the arms of the Borough's of Guildford and Godalming. The keys are from the arms of the Abbey of St. Peter at Chertsey, once a powerful and extensive landowner in Surrey. Keys also appear in the arms of the See of Winchester, which formerly included much of the County, they also form part of the arms of the present See of Guildford. The sprig of oak also from the former arms, represents the County's extensive rural areas and is derived from the badge of the FitzAlans, one time Earls of Surrey. It also appears in the mouths of the supporters of the Duke of Norfolk, the current Earl of Surrey. The woolpack is a reminder of the importance of the wool trade in the past, and is also included for that reason in the arms of numerous towns and boroughs in the County.

ARMS: Azure on a Pile reversed throughout Or between two Sprigs of Oak Argent over Water in base barry wavy of four Azure and Argent a Bridge of two arches issuant therefrom an Elm Tree proper.
CREST: On a Wreath of the Colours within a Saxon Crown Or a Grassy Mount proper thereon a Griffin passant Argent supporting a Staff proper flying therefrom a forked Pennon Azure charged in the hoist with a Mullet of nine points Or.
SUPPORTERS: On either side an Eagle Argent wings elevated and addorsed Gules perched on a Sprig of Elm with two leaves proper and holding in the beak a Rose Gules charged with another Argent barbed seeded and stalked with two leaves proper.
BADGE: On an Oval Or over Water in base barry wavy of four Azure and Argent a Bridge of two arches issuant therefrom an Elm Tree proper.

The Borough of Elmbridge was formed by the amalgamation of the Esher Urban District and the Walton and Weybridge Urban District.

Picture used with permission, do not reproduce.

The division of the shield is suggested by the chevron in the arms of the Esher UDC, this was derived from the arms of the d'Abernons, the colours blue and gold are from the arms of the Warennes, Earls of Surrey, the Surrey County Council and the arms of both constituent authorities. The two sprigs of oak like those in the County's arms signify two Surrey authorities. The elm on a bridge is an obvious reference to the name of the Borough, derived from the ancient Hundred of Elmbridge, which was largely coterminious with the present Borough. The bridge has two arches for the union of two authorities and the waves refer to the rivers Thames, Mole, Wey and Ember.
The gold Saxon crown from the crest of the Walton and Weybridge UDC, refers to the Saxon Hundred of Elmbridge, whose Moot was held at the bridge over the River Mole. The mound represents Esher Common, on which stands the white griffin from the Esher arms, derived from the arms of the Evelyns of Wotton, Cardinal Wolsey and the Reeds of Oatlands. The nine pointed star on the pennon symbolizes the union of nine civil parishes in the Borough.
The supporters combine the white eagle from the arms of Esher with the red eagle from the arms of Walton and Weybridge. In the former, it was derived from the arms of Merton Priory, landowners in Molesey for four centuries, and in the later it refered to the area's Roman associations. The sprigs of elm with two leaves are a further reference to the two former authorities and the Tudor roses are from the arms of Walton and Weybridge.
The motto is a variation of that previously used by Walton and Weybridge UDC.

ARMS: Per chevron Vert and Argent in chief two Horses' Heads erased Or and in base as many Bars wavy Azure.

Motto 'NON SUCH'.
Granted 4th September 1937.

Picture used with permission, do not reproduce.

The basic colours of the shield green and white, symbolize the grass and chalk of the Downs and the many trees in the neighbourhood. The horses' heads of course refer to the most famous race-course in the world and the important training industry, which provides employment for many in the town. The blue waves represent Ewell with its streams and wells.
The motto recalls the old royal palace of Nonsuch.

ARMS: Vert a Castle with three towers Or on a Chief Argent a Mitre of the first garnished of the second between a Sprig of Oak and a Sprig of Hop both fructed of the field.
CREST: On a Wreath of the Colours, in front of a Stag's Head affrontée proper issuant from six Ears of Wheat fesswise three to the dexter and three to the sinister Or a stone headed Axe also proper and a Pastoral Staff Gold in saltire.

Motto 'BY WORTH'.
Granted 11th October 1950, to the Farnham Urban District Council.

Picture used with permission, do not reproduce.

The castle represents the stronghold built at Farnham in the twelfth century by Henry de 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. The oak also links to the arms of the County Council.
The ears of wheat stand for agriculture, and the sprig of hops for produce for which Farnham was formerly famous. The stone axe alludes to the prehistoric antiquities of the district.
The motto is derived from the name of John Byworth, one of the town's benefactors. He was a clothier and presented the town in 1623 with the "Byworth Cup".

ARMS: Per pale Gules and Sable a Woolpack Argent on a Chief of the last a Rose of the first barbed and seed proper between two Escocheons also Gules that on the dexter charged with a Fesse dancetty between two Crosses patty in pale of the third and that on the sinister charged with three Pears in bend leafed and slipped proper.
CREST: On a Wreath of the Colours a Mount thereon a Ram statant holding in the mouth a Pear leafed and slipped all proper suspended from the neck by a Ribbon Gules an Escocheon Or charged with a Pair of Shears erect points upwards also proper.

Motto 'LIBERA DEINDE FIDELIS' - Faithful because free.
Granted 8th June 1893, to the Goldalming Borough Council. Transferred by Order in Council 16th April 1975 and exemplified by the Kings of Arms 10th December 1975.

The woolpack, taken from an earlier seal, indicates the subsistance of the Town upon the woollen industry for several centuries. The rose indicates that the first Borough Charter was granted in Tudor times, in 1575 during the reign of Elizabeth I. The three pears, are a punning rubus in reference to the Borough's first Warden John Perrier, a clothier. The other shield is said to refer to Sir George More of Loseley, who held the Manor of Godalming from 1601 after it passed from royal hands. However the shield bears no resemblance to the arms of More, and it seems likely that this shield was originally intended to represent Jocelyn de Bohun, Bishop of Salisbury in 1157, when the holding of Rectory Manor by the Dean and Chapter of Salisbury was confirmed. Unfortunately, this Bishop Jocelyn has been confused with another man with a similar name, Jocelyn de Bailleul, whose arms may be regarded as having some resemblance to the device used in the Godalming arms.
The crest is a further reference to the woollen industry and John Perrier

ARMS: Sable on a Mount Vert between two Woolpacks a Castle with three Towers Argent the central one triple-towered and charged with a Shield of the Royal Arms of France and England quarterly the outer towers each surmounted by a Spire under the battlements two Roses in fesse and within the open port beneath a Portcullis a Key all Or on the Mount before the port a Lion couchant guardant also Or the Base barry wavy Argent and Azure all within a Bordure Or charged with three Cornish choughs proper.

Motto 'FORTITER ET FIDELITER' - Bravely and faithfully.
Granted 8th January 1975.

The Borough of Guildford was formed by the amalgamation of the former Borough of Guildford and the Guildford Rural District.

Picture used with permission, do not reproduce.

The arms are a combination of the arms of the former Borough of Guildford with the addition of a gold border charged with the Cornish Coughs from the arms of the Guildford RDC.
The crest is very similar to that of the Guildford RDC, suitably differenced by the substitution of a key for the original anchor, which presumably is derived from the keys in the County arms.

ARMS: Per chevron Purpure and Sable on a Chevron Or between in chief two Hinds' Heads erased and in base an Acorn slipped and leaved Argent a Fountain between two Hazel leaves proper.
CREST: Out of a Mural Crown Or a demi-Heraldic Antelope Argent collard Azure supporting a Beacon Sable fired proper, Mantled Purpure doubled Or.

Motto 'VITA MUSIS GRATIOR' - Life is more satisfying through the muses or arts.
Granted 9th December 1959, to the Haslemere Urban District Council.

Picture used with permission, do not reproduce.

The shield forms a kind of heraldic map, with Haslemere between Hindhead and Blackdown. The chevron indicates the hilly situation of the area and resembles a gable and thus denotes a residential area, it also recalls the chevron-like pattern characteristic of Haslemere pottery. The two hazel leaves and the heraldic fountain suggests the name Haslemere, while above the hinds' heads on purple, suggest the heathery lands of the Hindhead area. Below the black "hill" suggests Blackdown, with the sprig of oak from the arms of the Surrey County Council, it is also the National Trust's emblem, a reminder that the Trust owns much local land.
The gold and purple of the wreath suggest the local abundance of heather and gorse and are also indicative of local Royal patronage. The mural crown is a symbol of local government and refers here to Haslemere's former borough status. The white antelope derived from the crest of the Mores of Loseley who held the Manor of Godalming (which included Haslemere) after the Bishops of Salisbury, who are also represented on the crest by a blue collar. The beacon is a reference to Beacon Hill and a symbol of the iron industry that was once so active in this area.
The motto reflects the many cultural activities of the town and its many links with famous artists, authors, poets and musicians.

ARMS: Or on a Fess wavy Azure between three acorns slipped and leaved proper a Bar wavy Argent a Chief dancetty of two points upwards Azure.
CREST: On a Wreath of the Colours out of a Mural Crown Argent between two Branches of Oak leaved proper a Swan roussant Argent holding in the beak a Sword point upwards Gules.
SUPPORTERS: On either side a Dorking Cock holding in the beak a Pine Cone all proper.

Motto 'MINISTRANDO VIGILANS' - Vigilant in our serving.
Granted 3rd June 1975.

The Mole Valley District was formed by the amalgamation of the Dorking Urban District, the Leatherhead Urban District and most of the Dorking and Horley Rural District.

Picture used with permission, do not reproduce.

The blue and white wave represents the River Mole, with the two Dorking areas on one side and the Leatherhead area on the other. The acorns are from the arms of the three former auithorities and the Surrey County Council. Above the acorns are two stylised hills, representing Box Hill and Leith Hill, two notable geographical features of the district, with a blue sky above. The outline of the hills also suggests the letter M with a V in the middle.
The crest's basic colours of gold and blue, the traditional Surrey livery, are taken from the arms of the Warrennes, first Earls of Surrey. The mural crown, is a familiar symbol of local government, coloured white as in the crest of the Dorking UDC and a direct reference to the prevalence of Dorking Lime in many local buildings. The swan was prominent in the crest of the Leatherhead UDC, in which it alluded to the old Swan Inn of coaching days and to the river and other local waters. The swan holds in its beak a red sword pointing upwards, refering to the association with the City of London through the City Freeman's School and to the connection between the former arms and the Second World War, the Leatherhead arms being the first in heraldry to commemorate the unity of purpose of the Civil Defence Services. Flanking the swan are two branches of oak leaves linking with the oak in the shield and are a direct reference to the former Leatherhead crest and the County arms.
The two cocks are of the distinctive five-toed Dorking breed, and are taken from the Dorking UDC crest, they characterise the surrounding rural area. Each cock holds in its beak a pine cone from the crest of the Dorking and Horley RDC, they refer to the Weald and Leith Hill wooded area of the district.
Tho motto,'Ministrando Vigilans' ('Vigilant in our serving') which gives the initials MV is a derivation of those of the former Dorking and Leatherhead Councils.

ARMS: Checky Azure and Or on a Mount in base and in front of an Oak Tree a Port with Portcullis raised between two Towers proper on a Chief Sable a Woolpack Or between two Sprigs of Oak fructed Argent.

BADGE: On a Fountain environed by a Wreath of Oak fructed proper a Woolpack ensigned with an Oak Tree and Port as in the Arms.

Motto 'NEVER WONNE NE NEVER SHALL'.
Granted 30th May 1975.

The Borough of Reigate and Banstead was formed by the amalgamation of the Borough of Reigate, the Banstead Urban District and part of the Dorking and Horley Rural District.

Picture used with permission, do not reproduce.

As in the arms of the Borough of Reigate, the background is the blue and gold chequers of the Warrennes, Earls of Surrey, Lords of Reigate and founders of the Priory in medieval times. The old device of the gate and oak tree is from the former seal and arms of Reigate, in the new arms the device is shown in its proper colours instead of white. The black chief, also from the old Reigate arms, is charged with the simple device of the Banstead UDC, the gold woolpack. It refers to the former importance of sheep-rearing and wool-production in Banstaad and also to the historic Wodpack Inn. The two sprigs of oak, as in the Surrey CC arms, refer to the two Surrey parishes of Horley and Salfords & Sidlow.
The mantling is in the basic Surrey colours of the Warrennes, blue and gold. The half length figure of one of the Pilgrim supporters of the former Reigate BC arms, is an obvious reference to the ancient Pilgrims' Way, which is common to both Reigate and Banstead.
The white lion and horse, are the supporters of the Howards, late Earls of Surrey. The lion was the crest of the Reigate BC in reference to the Lords Howard of Effingham, later Lords of Reigate. This was derived from the white lion of the de Mowbrays, who were prominent in Banstead and held the manor in the 12th century, so the lion is appropriate to both places. The horse is also a reference to the tradition of horse-racing on Banstead Downs, starting in the 17th century and immortalised in the famous Oaks race. The heraldic fountains on the shoulders indicate the River Mole at both Horley and Sidlow bridge. The tanner's knife, the ancient emblem of St. Bartholomew, patron of the parish of Horley, alludes to one of its ancient crafts, the leather industry. It is possible that the choice of this saint for the dedication of the church was due to the importance of this craft in ancient times. The sallow-leaf, refers to the name Salfords, the derivation of which is usually "sallow ford".
The motto is that used by the former Reigate BC.

ARMS: Vert a representation of Magna Carta ensigned by a representation of the Crown of King John proper on a Chief Argent two Barrulets wavy Azure.
CREST: On a Wreath Or and Vert upon Waves in front of a representation of Chertsey Abbey a Swan all proper.

BADGE: Upon a Fountain in front of a represenation of Chertsey Abbey a Swan statant proper.

Motto 'IN FREEDOM WE SERVE'.
Granted ?.

The Borough of Runnymede was formed by the amalgamation of the Chertsey Urban District and the Egham Urban District.

The arms like those of the Egham UDC refer to the earlier history of the district, with the representation of the Magna Carta, and the Crown of King John. It will be recalled that the "signing" (or more accurately sealing) of the Great Charter of Freedom by King John took place in the year 1215 and it concludes with these words "Given by Our hand in the meadow which is called Runnymede between Windsor and Staines, in the Fifteenth Day of June in the Seventeenth year of Our Reign". The blue waves refer to the River Thames
The crest recalls, like that of the Chertsey UDC, the Benedictine Abbey of St. Peter at Chertsey. Its founding in 666 started the recorded history of the entire area, for its lands and influence extended over the whole of this part of Surrey. The Abbey was founded by Erkenwald, who later became Bishop of London. The swan from the crest of the Egham UDC, is a further reference to the River Thames.
The motto is a combination of those of Egham and Chertsey.

ARMS: Per fess Azure and barry wavy of six Azure and Argent in chief in front of a rising Sun Or a representation of Staines Bridge issuant and in base a Thorn Tree proper.
CREST: On a Wreath of the Colours between two Sprigs of Oak each fructed of as many Acorns two Seaxes in saltire points downward proper hilts and pomels Or perched thereon a Swan rousant proper.

Motto 'AD SOLEM PROSPICIMUS' - We look towards the Sun.
Granted 25th July 1974.

The Borough of Spelthorne was formed by the amalgamation of the Staines Urban District and the Sunbury Urban District. These two authorities were in formerly in Middlesex and were transferred to Surrey in 1965, upon the abolision of the Middlesex County Council.

Picture used with permission, do not reproduce.

The white and blue waves, which are common to the arms of both former authorities, represents the River Thames. Against them stands a thorn tree recalling the famous tree which gave its name to the ancient Hundred of Spelthorne in Middlesex. Spanning the waves is Staines Bridge from the arms of the Staines UDC, and behind it is the allusive sun from the crest of the Sunbury UDC. The sun also suggests the dawn of a new life for Spelthorne.
The swan again recalls the River Thames, an important factor in the life of the Borough. The seaxes (Saxon swords) where common to the arms of both former authorities and the Middlesex County Council. The two sprigs of oak, from the arms of the Surrey County Council, symbolise the new Borough in Surrey.
The motto is a combination of those of Staines and Sunbury, and implies the facing of the dawn of a new civic era.

ARMS: Per pale Azure and Sable a Chief per pale Or and Argent over all a Stag's Head caboshed the attires interlaced with two Swords in saltire proper points upward hilts and pomels Or in chief a Sword in bend proper hilt and pomel Gules enfiling two Keys in bend sinister addorsed the bows interlaced the upper Gules the lower Azure.

Motto 'FESTINA DILIGENTER' - Make hast carefully.
Granted 20th September 1974.

The Borough of Surrey Heath was formed by the amalgamation of the Frimley and Camberley Urban District and the Bagshot Rural District.

Picture used with permission, do not reproduce.

The vertical division of the background into blue and black is like the arms of the Surrey County Council. A chief was common the the arms of both former authorities, divided into gold and white like the shield of Chertsey Abbey which, being connected with the history of the whole area, was commemorated in the arms of both former councils; the Bagshot RDC had the gold and white backgrouind, while the Frimley and Camberley UDC had the keys and sword of St Peter and St Paul, shown here on the on the gold and white chief. The crossed swords, interlaced with the antlers of a stag's head, are derived from the principal emblems in the previous councils' arms, the crossed swords of the Army badge indicating the importance of the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst and the Staff College at Camberley and the former military camp at Chobham. The stag's head alludes to Bagshot Park, a royal demesne since Norman times, and to the fact that much of the district was formerly part of Windsor Forest. The interlacing of the swords with the antlers symbolises the union of the two districts.
The wreath and mantling are in the principal colour and metal of the arms, blue and gold, the ancient liveries of the Warenne Earls of Surrey and of the County Council. The circle of fir cones from the crest of Bagshot RDC encloses a mound of heathland in reference to Bagshot Heath. The the royal lion from the Bagshot arms, is crowned with a red crown like the Stanhope lion in the crest of the Frimley and Camberly UDC, the latter holds a grenade or fire-ball, and this is shown in the royal lion's forepaw.
The white owl is derived from one the three in the Frimley and Camberley shield, alluding to the le Marchant baronets of Chobham, one of whom was first Lieutenant-Governor of the Royal Military College. As in the former shield, the owl stands on a sprig of oak, the Surrey badge. The falcon is derived from the crest of Bagshot, here it reverts to its original function as a supporter, being that of the Earls of Onslow. Each is wreathed about the neck with livery colours of the arms of the two former councils, white and blue for Frimley and Camberley, gold and red for Bagshot.
The motto is derived from those of Onslow and Bagshot, and its import here is the ideal of progress with speed and efficiency.

Granted 17th March 1977.

The Tandridge District was formed by the amalgamation of the Caterham and Warlingham Urban District and the Godstone Rural District.

Picture used with permission, do not reproduce.

The red background with three bezants or roundels of gold, is taken from the seal of the Augustinian Priory of St. James atTandridge which flourished from about 1200 until 1537. The red estoiles are derived from the arms of the Cobham family of Lingfield.
The mural crown is symbolic of municipal government as well as of military defence. The grasshopper is from the crest of the Gresham family, which at one time owned a number of manors within the district.
The gold griffins are taken from the arms of the Evelyn family who were connected with Godstone and Felbridge at various times during the 16th to 18th centuries. Each griffin holds a blue winged sword which is an allusion to Kenley Aerodrome established in 1917 and an important fighter station during World War II.

ARMS: Sable a Cross flory saltirewise Vert fimbriated Or surmounted of a Plate thereon a Bar undy Azure between in chief a representationof the Town Hall at Godalming and in base of Fox's Tower at Farnham Castle in dexter flank an Oak Sprig fructed of an Acorn and in sinister flank a Crane in its vigilance all Gold.

Motto 'FIDE ET DILIGENTIA' - By faith and diligence.
Granted 18th June 1930, to the Woking Urban District Council.

Picture used with permission, do not reproduce.

The arms are made up of elements derived from the heraldry of past holders of the Manor of Woking. The cross is from the arms attributed to Edward the Confessor and the red and gold colouring is from the arms of Bassett family, to whom the manor was granted by King John, shortly after his accession. On the death of Aliva Bassett in 1281, the Manor passed to her son Hugh le Despenser, and it is from the Despenser family arms that the frets are taken. The fleurs-de-lis are from the arms of the Beaufort Dukes of Somerset, who came into possesion of the Manor in 1416. Margaret Beaufort, mother of Henry VII, lived at Woking Palace and her grandson, Henry VIII, also live there from time to time.
