Description: | Dynamic arrangement of three fish leaping into the air in different directions, one above the other. Set into a broad brick planter filled with earth and shrubs. Additional Information: A vertical row of three fishes is the long established emblem of Kington upon Thames and first appeared in 1441 on a seal granted to 'the baylifs and fremen of the Towne of Kingston upon Thames' by a charter of Henry VI, and in 1572 became part of the original coat of arms of the Royal Borough. Refers to the once thriving salmon fisheries in the Thames which were included in William I's Domesay Book of 1085. | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Sculptor: Wynne, David | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=7147... | Go to resource |
