Wrexham Coat of Arms

The Coat of Arms for Wrexham

The crest is based on a red mural (walled) crown symbolizing brick-making and Madog ap Meredydd's castle ad Overton. The Welsh Red Dragon rests a foot on a black diamond edged with gold, for coal and other mineral wealth, and the tree stands for forestry and the rural areas. The supporters are Welsh dragons holding a green pennon for agriculture; one dragon is charged with a gold symbol of Mars for iron founding and the other with a gold cogwheel for engineering. The motto from Virgil means - Hard work overcomes all things.

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.
