The Parish Council uses the logo shown above. The design represents local features.
The top left hand quarter is the balloon of Vincenzo
Lunardi who flew from the Artillery Grounds, Moorfields,
London
to Colliers End on 16
Sept. 1784. During this
flight his balloon landed at what is known as Balloon Corner, being at the
junction of Dellsome Lane
and Parsonage Lane,
Welham Green. His cat had become
air-sick and was left with a local woman while he continued his flight. For more detail visit www.brookmans.com and search against
Lunardi.
The top right hand quarter is a stag or hart
representing Hertfordshire.
The bottom left hand quarter is Folly Arch, Hawkshead Road, Little Heath. It
was built in 1740 to a design attributed to James Gibbs as a feature of the
Gobions Estate. Click
here for a picture of Folly Arch.

and search against Folly Arch.
The bottom right hand quarter is the parish church of St Mary’s at North Mymms
Park. The original church had a spire but this
was removed in the 1900s. Click
here for a picture taken about 1905 of the church showing the spire.
In the bottom section, the green triangle represents the
Triangulation Point used by surveyors for accurate positioning. On the map page
the first map shows its location as a blue triangle on the horizontal line
marked ‘2’ and just to the right of ‘110’
The trees represent Gobions Wood, Brookmans Park. The wavy lines represent water. This could be a reference to the Three
Valleys Water Co which has a pumping station on Warrengate Road, North Mymms, or maybe the
lake at Gobions?
