Land of Plenty

Worthing Beacon and Coat of Arms.
I hadn't noticed the coat of arms before, and it is very clean and pristine, it could be new. I have always loved the shape of the beacon.
The coat of arms, see extra, includes three fishes, a Horn of Plenty overflowing with corn and fruit on a cloth of gold and the figure of Hygieia, the Goddess of Health holding a snake. They represent the health given from the seas, the fullness and riches gained from the earth and the power of healing.
The civic motto is 'Ex terra copiam e mari salutem' translated as 'From the land plenty and from the sea health'.
