Hackney / London Coat of Arms

Hackney's Tower of Augustine clearly played a major role in the boroughs long history as its been incorporated into the official coat of arms and embraced by the council. Hidden in plain view are the motif's of the controlling fraternities. I should also point out that Stoke Newington / Stepney were originally within Hackney territory and governed by Hackney County Council.
