Personal Notes:
Wouter arms were granted on November 26, 1926.
The arms are derived from the 14th century seal of the town.
The cross was awarded by the Counts of Vlaanderen to Wouter van Nevele after his crusade in the 12th century.
The lions were probably added by the Ghistelle family, Lords of Nevele in the 14th century.
A 17th century seal of the city also shows the cross with the four lions.
