Notes: | The Warwickshire Flag is a community flag proclaiming the unique identity of this historic English county. The flag features the traditional bear and ragged staff used since the Middle Ages to represent the Earldom of Warwick. Many military, administrative, sporting and civic entities have employed it over the centuries. Several representative bodies submitted this traditional pattern for registration. The county’s High Sheriff and Lord Lieutenant also offered their support. |
