Crest Symbolism:
The crest features a black (sable) lion, standing gardant (looking directly at the viewer), which is a symbol of deathless courage and vigilance. The lion rests its right paw on a silver shield bearing a black mill-rind. The mill-rind, a piece of iron that supports a millstone, signifies industry and purpose, reinforcing the strength and fortitude often associated with the lion. Adorning the lion's side are three silver crosses pattée fitchée, which combine the cross pattée (associated with knighthood and protection) with a pointed base, historically allowing it to be planted in the ground, symbolizing an unshakeable faith and readiness to serve.
