Notes

The arms were granted on January 14, 1939. Before this the town used an unofficial device consisting of a white shield bearing a swallow. This is a pun on the town's name, the French hirondelle sounding similar to the town's name. This formed the basis of the crest of the 1939 arms. http://heraldry-wiki.com/heraldrywiki/wiki/Arundel
