Members' Roll of Arms

Many of the members of the Heraldry Society are armigerous, ie. they have a coat of arms. This gives us an opportunity to introduce you to the wide range of designs and styles that are used for modern, and ancient, heraldry. The arms are organised by the member’s surname.

My arms recall Clifford Le Fils’s

Mine’s a pale, not a fess,
And as for the rest
The checks are reversed. Likeness ceases.
