The apple tree is taken from the flag of Westmorland, which itself
was drawn from the thirteenth century seal of Appleby. As such the tree not only
has precedent in representing the town vexillographically but also acts as a
play upon the town’s name as well as using the centuries old seal as the basis
for a traditional design. Furthermore the use of the tree and the link it
provides to the county flag helps reflect how the county town incorporated the
name of the county into its own.
Instead of the red and white bars of
Kendal on the county flag the golden tree is here placed on a blue background to
complete the representative livery colours of the town, as per the town’s formal
grant of arms.
