  • A SUSSEX COAT of ARMS Under English Heraldic Law Coats of Arms Are Not Granted to Places, but Only to the Corporate Bodies That Govern Them
    A SUSSEX COAT OF ARMS Under English heraldic law coats of arms are not granted to places, but only to the corporate bodies that govern them. Therefore if Sussex was to have a County Council of its own then perhaps the authority would bear arms along these lines? ARMS: Azure six martlets three two and one Or. CREST: On a Wreath Azure and Or out of an Antique Crown Or a martlet Azure crowned with a Saxon Crown Or supporting a Staff bearing an Escutcheon Gules charged with a Cross Argent with a cup in each quarter of the second and flying also therefrom a Banner of the Arms. SUPPORTERS: On the dexter side a Round-headed Rampion Flower slipped and leaved proper and a Downsman habited in a Sussex Smock and on his head a Beaver Hat holding in the exterior hand a Pyecombe Hook Shepherd’s Crook all proper and on the sinister side a Sprig of Oak fructed of one Acorn proper and a Bonfire Boy proper habited in a Guernsey barry Azure Or and Sable holding in the exterior hand a Torch enflamed proper. MOTTO: ‘WE WUNT BE DRUV’ - We will not be driven. This coat of arms is of course a fictional device and hasn’t been authorised by the College of Arms, the official heraldic authority of England, Wales and Northern Ireland. I simply created it just for fun as a symbol of, and in celebration of our county. These arms are inspired by that of the Cornwall Council which features characters in local attire as supporting figures.

  • In the Senate Speaker's Chambers
    SENATE SÉNAT CANADA Heraldic SYMBOLS In the Senate Speaker’s Chambers The Speaker of the Senate of Canada takes great pleasure in welcoming you to these chambers. IntroductionWhen the Speaker is not presiding over regular sittings of the Senate or representing Parliament abroad, these quarters are the centre of the Speaker’s professional activity. This is where legislation is reviewed, speeches are prepared, and meetings are held with parliamentarians, public servants and visiting delegations from across Canada and abroad. On occasion, the Speaker offers study sessions on Canada’s Constitution to senior-level students — our country’s leaders in waiting. There is also a ceremonial function associated with the role of Speaker. In this respect, the Speaker has the honour of greeting people from all around the world and sharing some interesting yet little-known aspects of Senate life. Among the guests are foreign leaders, diplomats, academics, government officials, and people from diverse cultural communities. The Speaker is also proud to host members of the military, veterans, Indigenous peoples in Canada, and visitors from across the country. The Speaker’s chambers have long served as a stately setting for conducting parliamentary business. They echo the deliberations of men and women who served as guiding forces throughout a century and a half of Canada’s history. At the same time, they are warm and inviting. This warmth comes in part from the various woods found throughout the chambers and the deep carvings.1 Among the many points of interest in these quarters are the heraldic emblems that adorn the walls and provide accent for the historical furnishings.

Fox This paper seeks to show how the cadency marks described by writers on heraldry and used today in England and Wales, Scotland and Ireland came to be established, concentrating upon the evidence provided by a hitherto largely overlooked medieval manuscript source. It also notes the influence of published works on the evolution of cadency practices in the sixteenth century.1 Heraldry began to develop rapidly during the twelfth century at much the same time that the fully visored helmet was popularized.

The Promptuarium Armorum has been fully described by the late Walter Kendall Watkins in an article which appeared in the Boston Globe of 7 February 1915. The author was an officer of the College of Arms: William Crowne, Rouge Dragon, and the period of production lies between the years 1 602 and 1616. Crowne came to America and must have brought the book with him, for Mr. Watkins has traced its probable ownership through a number of Boston painters until it is found in the hands of the Gore family. That it served as a source-book for the Gore Roll is clear and it would have been gratifying to have been able to examine it with this in mind j but the condition of the manu- script is now so fragile, the ink having in many places eaten completely through the paper, that the present owner is unwilling to have it subjected to further handling.
