Description: Seal of the Town of Plainville. "A committee on the Town By-laws brought in a report concerning the Town Seal for Plainville at a special town meeting in 1906. The committee had an elaborate design with the New Town Hall building in the center of it. The voters were about to accept the design as the Official Seal of the town when Mr. James Shannon, the town clerk, arose and proposed a simpler design. He said nothing could be more meaningful or more beautiful than making use of the historic Angle Tree Stone Monument as the emblem to occupy the center of the seal. After explaining it at some length, he submitted his idea in place of the committee's. It was voted that the seal submitted by the town clerk be adopted and further improved by giving more prominence to the word "Plainville" and less prominence to the word "Wrentham". " (Bowmar, ibid)
