Ilfracombe Potens Salubritate- Ilfracombe Strong for Health. The coat of arms, adopted in 1894, incorporates the family arms of the Bourchier Wreys, the Lords of the Manor, with dolphons, battle-axes and water containers, symbolizing the water they carried on the crusades. The 6 ships signify the ones Ilfracombe provided for the siege of Calais, and the waves and oar represent the Local Board of Health, which became the Urban District Council
