The
armiger has a fondness
for dragons and so this
was an obvious choice to
form the basis of the
arms. The hammer,
described as Thor’s
Hammer, refers to the
armiger’s maternal
ancestors who were
blacksmiths in Thursley,
Surrey; it represents
both a blacksmiths
hammer and the etymology
of Thursley which is
Thor’s Lee, Thor being
the Norse God of
Thunder, worshiped by
the Anglo Saxons.
The
Eastern Crown alludes to
the armiger’s personal
involvement with
Eastcourt in the Parish
of Oving, Sussex, and
the crest dragon holds a
Ceremonial, or Manorial,
Mace which refers to the
occupation of the
armiger’s father, a
Civil Servant serving in
the Houses of
Parliament. It is also a
nod to the Courts Leet
and Baron of the Manor
of Mousehill, near
Millford from whence the
armiger’s maternal
ancestors originate.
The
armiger is a member of
The Knights of Saint
Thomas of Canterbury UK;
Knight Grand Cross and
Grand Commander of West
Sussex.
