The triangle issuing from the hoist firstly recalls the name of
the village by symbolising the top of the River Nent valley. Secondly the
triangle also refers to the fact that the nearby Knowbury Hill is the
eastern-most point of the historic county of Cumberland - the shade of green
being the same as that in the Cumberland flag. Upon
the triangle is placed the eight-pointed star of Quakerism to recall the origins
of the town. Below the green triangle are a series of black and white hoops
which depicts the streams of lead (black) and silver (white - argent 'silver' in
heraldic terminology) that lie beneath the area and upon which the industry of
the village was built.
