HERTFORD, Town of (Hertfordshire.) Argent, a hart lodged resting on water proper.

Recorded in the College of Arms.

Burke's "General Armory" gives the arms with which the town is generally credited, namely, " Argent on a mount vert, a hart lodged gules " As is the case with the county the hart is sometimes placed in a ford, and trippant or statant. The seal, however, represents a hart statant in a ford in front of a tree, and a castle triple-towered and domed in the background.
