FELTHAM URBAN DISTRICT COUNCIL ARMS: Per fesse wavy
Argent and Azure in chief two Palets Sable between a Tudor Rose stalked
slipped and leaved proper and a Peacock in his pride Vert and in base in
front of two Wings conjoined of the first a Sword erect Or. Granted 19th June 1945 The wavy line and the
silver and blue field indicate the Duke of Northumberland's River which
takes the head-waters of the River Colne to Syon House, and the Longford
River (also called the Queen's or Cardinal's River) which takes the Colne
Waters to serve, the fountain and lakes of Hampton Court. The two black
palets represent railway lines and indicate Feltham's importance in the
southern portion of the British Railways system. The rose stands for the
Tudor associations of Hanworth, particularly the claim that Elizabeth I
spent much of her early childhood at Hanworth Manor. The peacock represents
the topiary peacocks in the grounds of St Mary's Church, Bedfont, which are
accepted as local emblems. The winged sword stands for the London Airport
and the district's close association with the aircraft industry. The sword
also refers to the Royal Army Ordnance Depot, and to the ancient sword-mill
marked on a 17th century map. |
Robin Rendell born April 1939 at 26 Longford Avenue, Bedfont,Middlesex
I have written 7 books on Bedfont, they are, Memories Of A Bedfont War Baby, A Bedfont Teenager in the 1950's,
Bedfont My Village, Her Majesty Requires Your Presence, Memories Are Made Of These, Back Home Again, and
A Home Of Our Own. All books are £3 each and profits go to Ashford Middlesex Hospital Breast Cancer unit. I have researched Bedfont and hold many old photographs of people places and schools.
Through my books contacts have been made by many old Bedfont folk from Australia, Canada, New Zealand, USA and of course the flying Dutchman who has kindly designed and made this web site.
