The crest is for Houghton le Spring, combining symbols of the le Spring family, the district's Patron Saint, St Michael, and a local rector - Bernard Gilpin.
The diplomat Sir Cecil Spring-Rice lived on the shore of Ullswater for a number of years, at Watermillock, and there are several memorials erected at nearby Aira Force to members of the Spring family.
