The story behind
the Chairman’s Badge of office
The outer edge of
the badge represents the boundary of the Parish and ancient
Township of Crigglestone. The ten stars within the boundary
represent the villages within the Parish.
The fleur-de-lis
is the Coat of Arms of the City of Wakefield and the scallop
shell the symbol of St James, - the Ecclesiastical Parish
within which Crigglestone is wholly situated.
The M1 motorway
crosses the centre of the badge, dividing the old from the
new.
To the left of the
motorway are shown the headgear of the old colliery at Crigglestone,
the old Chemic chimney at Painthorpe and the old corn mill
at Newmillerdam.
Old Crigglestone
is joined by the motorway bridge on Cliffe Road to modern
Crigglestone, depicted by the Community Centre at Little Cliffe,
and Dane Royd School.
The sprig of barley
represents the farming community, which links both past and
present Crigglestone. The dove characterizes the rural aspect
of the Parish.
