About the flag
The Calne Flag is a community flag proclaiming the unique identity of this Wiltshire town.
The blue fly represents the river Marden flowing through the town.
The green hoist evokes the local countryside, with a white stripe symbolising its underlying chalk.
Lastly a gold band links the two colours.
This celebrates the discovery of oxygen by Dr Joseph Priestley in Doctor’s Pond in 1774.
