![[Proposal for Cumberland flag]](../images/g/gb-e!cbr.gif)
image located by Jason Saber, 3 August 2012The flag derives from the arms of the former Cumberland County Council. The
design represents some of the county's natural features; at the top are the
white Parnassus flowers which grow on the marshy uplands, the green upper field,
while at the base the wavy blue and white stripes symbolise the county's rivers,
lakes and seaboard. The illustration is by Philip Tibbetts. See also

A letter from the Historic Counties Trust requesting the registration of this
design as the county flag of Cumberland has been sent to the Flag Institute. The
request has been made on the basis of a sizable number of expressions of support
from local organisations – see
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Cumberland-Flag/451826751524882. We therefore
anticipate the imminent registration of the attached design as the flag of the
county of Cumberland next week. I’ll alert you as soon as I hear any news.

I have heard today that Cumberland flag has been accepted into the registry.
