 The seal from 1400 (Ewe, 1972) |
Lymington was once of considerable importance as a port, which it first achieved in the reign of Henry I. The surrounding bordure represents the Borough boundary, and the circles in it signify the various areas it includes.
The crest consists of a Sea Lion, which is winged to symbolise progress. The lion and boar supporters are derived from the arms of the Redvers and Courtenay families who had an early interest in the Town, successively holding the Lordship of the Manor.
