The Oxfordshire flag is the proposed flag of the English county of Oxfordshire. It has not yet been registered with the Flag Institute.[1]
Design
The flag is named the 'St Frideswide Cross', honouring a local saint. The green background represents the fields and woodlands of the county; the blue symbolises the River Thames. It was designed[when?] by Edward Keene and Michael Garber of the Oxfordshire Association, in conjunction with the Flag Institute’s Graham Bartram. The flag has been flown above the Department for Communities and Local Government.[2]
Armorial banner
An alternative commercially available flag exists, based on a banner of the coat of arms of the Oxfordshire County Council.
