Origin/meaning

The arms were officially granted on September 5, 1952.

The fretty design is from the arms of the de Tressells, or Trussels, former Lords of the Manor, while the gold roundels represent the old nail-making industry of the district. The Stafford knots link the arms with the County, and their number corresponds with the twelve parishes in the Rural District.

The unicorn is from the heraldry of the Wrottesleys and Greys. The flames refer to the old iron and smelting industry, and the sword alludes to the alleged Roman camp at Kinver.
