The Warwickshire flag is the flag of the county of Warwickshire in England. It was registered with the Flag Institute in August 2016. The flag was registered as a result of a campaign that secured the support of a dozen county organisations plus the sanction of both the Lord Lieutenant and the High Sheriff.[1]

Design

The design features the traditional bear and ragged staff used in the county since the Middle Ages as insignia of the Earls of Warwick and subsequently appearing as the regimental badges of local military units and the emblems of numerous sporting and other county organisations.[1] The bear and ragged staff appear in John Speed's 1611 map of the county.[2] The design of the flag lacks the chains on the bear, commonly found in old depictions of the emblem.[3]
