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.

Notes

The chains represent a visual pun on the grantee’s surname – 10 chains make a furlong in the old imperial measure, to which the motto also alludes.
The black and white checks represent ballot boxes and ballot papers as Mr Furlong was employed in electoral administration for thirty-two years.
The gold unicorn is taken from the arms of the City of Bristol for whom he worked, and where his family has lived for generations. The Sable Unicorn is taken from the arms of the Heraldry Society to show his love of heraldry. They are sea unicorns to represent the Bristol Rivers Avon and Frome between which he has always lived and, to represent his father’s and grandfather’s service in the Royal Navy.

Notes

Artist: Steve Yambao
The rose originally symbolized the armiger’s devotion to Our Lady of Guadalupe, who is associated with a miracle of the roses. The armiger appreciates its simplicity. The rose is also canting to his given name, Jerricho, which is derived from the Canaanite word for “fragrant”. The bear is a canting reference to his family name, Garcia, which traces to a Basque word for the animal. The eagle symbolizes his patron saint, St. John the Apostle, as well as his home of Davao City. The four colors are taken from the flag of the Philippines and of China and reflect his heritage.
