Description of the flag

Caterham is a town in east Surrey, southern England. At the time of the 2011 census, the town had a population of around 21,000. Caterham Cars, a famous manufacturer of lightweight sports cars, is based in (and named for) the town.

Caterham's flag is registered with the UK Flag Registry. According to this source: Caterham - Wikishire):
"The Caterham village flag was registered on 20 November 2016, designed by Jonathan Spencer and adopted by a local vote."

"The flag incorporates a sine wave for the hills and valleys in green and gold, the livery of the Caterham car company, maker of famous motor racing cars which was based in the village. The wave is arranged to resemble racing stripes, with a circle imitating a racing car badge. The circle contains a stylised cedar tree, for Caterham's ancient cedar tree, which legend states was bought here from Bethlehem."
