VALE OF WHITE HORSE
Additions : 1974 Borough of Abingdon, the Urban District of Wantage, the Rural Districts of Abingdon and Faringdon and part of Wantage Rural District
Origin/meaning :
The Vale is named after the White Horse of Uffington, carved into the chalk hillside. The wavy bars are for the rivers of the Vale.
The crest features an ancient crown, for the links with Anglo Saxon royalty of the district. The crown is between two lightning flashes for the atomic research carried on in the district.
The dexter supporter is a mitred abbot, for Abingdon Abbey. The sinister supporter is King Alfred the Great, born in Wantage in AD 849. He holds a scroll recording his role as a law maker.
The motto - SUB EQUO AEQUITAS - means "Under the Horse there is Equity".​
