Motto 'CASTELLO FORTIOR CONCORDIA' - Peace is stronger than a fortress. Recorded at the Visitation of 1617.


The castle doubtless refers to Northampton Castle, which was built by Simon de Senlis around 1100, and was on several occasions the scene of Councils and Parliaments. A castle had appeared on various Borough seals over the years and the English lions are royal emblems.
