Shutford is a village and parish council in Oxfordshire, England.
Here
is the page showing the winning entry and other proposals for the village flag
http://www.shutfordvillage.com/shutford-flag.html
The name Shutford
is derived from Scytta's Ford. This translated as Archers ford. My offering is
based on the flag that was the coat of arms of the former Oxfordshire County
Council.
The basic field colour is the Oxford blue long associated with
Oxford and Oxfordshire. Against this two broad, white, wavy stripes symbolise
the Sor Brooke which I presume was the water where the ford was. At the lower
left and upper right corners, a golden oak tree, wheatsheaf and Shuttle to
represent the Shutfords woodland, agriculture and its history of Plush
production.
Centre is the Archer about to cross his ford.
