The Arms of the Former Metropolitan
Borough of Battersea
The
Arms of the Former Metropolitan Borough of Battersea were installed in
the sanctuary of the church when the borough became part of the current
Borough of Wandsworth in 1965. The crest bears the motto, Non mihi non
tibi sed nobis, 'Neither for me nor for you, but for us'. Sprigs of
lavender behind the bird commemorate the importance of Lavender Hill as a source
of the plant for London, and the wavy blue lines of the shield call to mind the
centrality of the river as a source of food and avenue of transport in
Battersea's history.
