Ceredigion Coat of Arms

The top left quarter, a golden lion rampant on a black ground, is based on the arms of Gwaithfoed - a medieval prince of Ceredigion. The top right quarter, a herring against a background of the sea, signifies the fishing industry of Ceredigion. A wheatsheaf in the bottom left quarter represents agriculture, the county's dominant industry. Shown on the bottom right quarter are the arms ascribed to Dewi Sant (Saint David), the Patron Saint of Wales, who had very close associations with Ceredigion. The Welsh motto means 'The wealth of the land is freedom'.

Each IBD County Page has or will have (where possible) the relevant Coat of Arms. This is made possible thanks to a fantastic heraldry website called the International Civic Heraldry Website. Sometimes a description is not given due to lack of information, so if anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated. You may visit this superb site by using the link below.
