Origin/meaning
Thirst RDC never used arms. The arms displayed here are of the Town Council. These have, as far as I know, not officially been granted.
The arms are from the Mowbray family, who held the manor from Norman times until 1476. They built a castle here and chartered the Borough and its market.
The JaJa cards below showed rather different arms for the town.
 Arms for Thirsk as used on a JaJa postcard +/- 1905 |
The arms are now used by the town council.
