The
white horse on a red field is reputed to be the symbol of the ancient
Saxon kingdom of Kent; they have for long been associated with the modern
County.
The mural crown commemorates the fact that, for four hundred years,
Kent was an independent Saxon kingdom. Its form is also symbolic of
the many fortified castles and towns in the county and the masts and
sails are emblems of its intimate links with the Navy, the Mercantile
Marine and Sea Fisheries.
