English County Flags

[crofter]

Can anyone out there identify the following English County Flags:

Flag 1: Three yellow bundles (sheaves?) form an inverted triangle around a vertically raised yellow sword. The background is royal blue.

Flag 2: The top quarter of the flag is royal blue showing a simple galleon in white. Below is a red lion (rampart) facing left on a white background.

Flag 3: The top third of the flag is emerald green and the lower two thirds is purple. These two areas are separated by a white wavy line. To the right of the flag there looks like a football (?) in white and purple sitting on a green open book (?)

Thanks for the quick responses.

scotman: This was my main resource to get six of the flags.

emu777: Your "cheshire" was "spot on"! Well interpreted.

My good friend, x-ray: Your link was very useful giving Devon for flag 2.
This is my first return to AnswerBank in six weeks.

emu777: You are quite right. What I took to be a "football" was a white rose and the "open book" was an emblished SY!

Thanks for the effort.
