  • A heraldic shield has been associated with the historic county of Sussex since the seventeenth century. The device, displaying six martlets or heraldic swallows on a shield, later formed the basis of the flag of Sussex and the armorial bearings granted to the county councils of East and West Sussex. The six gold martlets on a blue shield is the official heraldic shield of Sussex, very much the same as the Yorkshire Rose is for Yorkshire. Under English Heraldic law this heraldic shield has been granted to the county by the new administrative body. Sussex hasn't had an administrative body since 1086, the year of the Domesday Book, but in October 2018 the device has been reclassified as the counties heraldic shield by the administrative body for the county.
