The wheatsheaf reflects the agricultural heritage and St. Peter’s church, in part dates back to the 12th century. The names on the scrolls are names of the ‘Greens’ in the parish. Great Green was dug up and farmed during the war, Buttons, Old Hall, Smithwood and Windsor Greens are all in private hands, whilst Cross Green was gifted to the parish and Parsonage Green purchased for the parish by public subscription. The oxlip is representative of Bull’s Wood where it grows in profusion. The crests are of the De Vere and the Spring families, both with strong connections with the Manor.
