The Mid Surrey badge is largely taken from the Borough arms of Richmond. The portcullises represent the palace at Sheen which was renamed Richmond after one of the King Henrys had liked the Duke of Richmond's estate in Yorkshire so much that he decided that what had been known as Sheen would now be known as Richmond and he caused the palace to be built on the waterfront.

It was in this palace that Queen Elizabeth I died.

The Lion is a Lion of England and refers again to the royal presence.

On the next line we have the Tudor Rose either side of the gate of Kingston barracks (still to be seen today) these were the barracks of the East Surrey regiment.

The swan is part of the arms of Richmond and represents the river and the royal swans which are shared with the Haberdashers.

The shield is a simple armorial shield..
