Norfolk

Norfolk’s flag is the armorial banner of the arms attributed to the first Earl of Norfolk Ralph (Ranulph) de Gael (de Guader). This 12th century design has been associated with the county ever since, appearing on maps and books and of course forming the basis of the county council arms awarded in 1904. In 2014 a campaign to see this anciently linked, traditional emblem of the county, was led by Norfolk native, Dominic Victor Maverick Smith. The design was already in use amongst local sailing associations and had been adpted for their own set of arms by the county heraldry society. Having secured the support of such prestigious organisations a sthe norfolk Borads Authority and the Norfolk Family History Society this tradtional flag of the ocunty was duly registered by the Flag Institute on September 11th 2014.
