NEWS AND COMMENT

WRIGHT AND WRONG

Legacy Ltd., a division of Atlantic Advert-ising Inc. is one of those firms which produce 'personalized' articles emblazoned with arms. A t present this firm is specializing in the 'King-Size Crest Door Mat'. We are told in the letter advertising this product that it was found in England 'where they really know and care about coats of arms'. With each door mat comes a free 'Golden Crest Door Knocker' and the two, we are assured 'form a statement of the dignity, identity, and taste of the owner. They are, in effect, an intro-duction to you'.

The letter also states: 'Your coat of arms is shown on the other side of this letter and will appear on the mat. Mats are available for only the names shown as this offer is restricted'.

On the reverse of the letter are 41 repro-ductions of arms, mostly well-known ones (yes, there is a Smith, Brown and Robinson; Davies, Evans and Jones) which range, from an aesthetic and armorial standpoint, from bad to grisly in the extreme.

One coat caught our attention as it under-lines the stupidity, not to say downright im-morality, of this sort of trade. It is the arms of Wright.

The coat selected is that granted to Sir James Alexander Wright, baronet, with limit-ation to him and his descendants and to the other descendants of his grandfather Alex-ander Wright of Charleston, son of the 1st baronet who was Attorney General and Advocate General of South Carolina and who, apparently had no arms. A good choice, you may think, as this family was living in America. The only trouble is that the baronetcy became extinct some time after 1837 when the male issue, that is those en-titled to bear the arms, of Alexander Wright, and of course of his father, failed.

These arms, therefore, belong only to the dead and perhaps, as a quartering, to some descendants through the female line. One wonders what the dead Wrights would think of their arms being pedalled to all and sundry bearing their name, but not sharing their blood. It is sad to think that after a man has gone to trouble and expense to obtain arms to distinguish him and his line from other and unrelated families that his very purpose can be defeated by the unchallenged action of a commercial concern.

To add insult to injury, Legacy Ltd., has turned the Wrights into bastards by making the bordure in their arms into the bordure wavy, the usual symbol of illegitimacy. Per-haps the firm would like to consider adding this bordure to their own symbol which al-ready contains an undertone of bastardy — quarterly Sable charged with an unidentified object and Argent, on a Bend sinister the word Legacy.

NO C A L L FOR DYMOKE

After the State Opening of the present Parliament. Mr . W. Hamilton, a Labour mem-ber, made some caustic and rather juvenile comments on what he called the 'silly parade of Black Rods, Red Dragons . . . ' and so forth.

Two readers wrote and hoped that we would comment on these remarks, but after some consideration we felt that it would be a waste of valuable space. The Queen needs no champion to defend her from the irrat-ional outbursts of a tiny minority; for. make no mistake, this was a carping criticism of the monarchy, you cannot attack a limb with-out wounding the body.

The only reason we now refer to this criticism is because remarks such as those passed by Mr . Hamilton tend to find their way into the overseas newspapers where they receive disproportionate publicity. We would, therefore, like to reassure our overseas readers that few people in this country sub-scribe to M r . Hamilton's views, indeed, we seriously doubt whether many of his con-stituents would support him in an attack on something which he clearly neither under-stands, nor has the intellectual curiosity to try and comprehend.

Possibly Mr . Hamilton prefers the more sinister parades which take place on 1st May each year in certain capital cities to the 'silly' peaceful procession which attends his Queen on the rare, but historic, occasions when she appears in her full majesty.

The Council of the Heraldry Society wishes to apologise to readers for the recent delays in publication of the H e r a l d r y Gazette. The next issue (dated October 1966) will be pub-lished within the next six weeks and thereafter normal publication will be resumed The January 1967 issue being published in the middle of that month.

Shhh . . .

The new "Queen's Award to Industry" seems to have red tape for its swaddling gar-ment. A firm, commissioned by another firm who had acquired the award, to produce suit-able replicas, wrote and asked for artistic guidance. The reply from "The Office of the Queen's Award to Industry" stated that the Manual of Guidance could only be supplied to the winners of the award. We can only hope and pray that the Russians do not get hold of this top secret, indeed it might be safer if the names of holders of the award were not publicised or even told that they had been granted it. You cannot be too careful.

NEW INSIGNIA

The new London borough of Sutton — which is made up of three former London boroughs — has had new civic insignia pre-sented to it, incorporating the new borough's coat of arms. The insignia — chains and badges for Mayor, Deputy Mayor and their consorts — are excellent examples of modern design by Alex Styles, showing what can be done with traditional forms. But the use of heraldry as a unifying element was under-lined by Alderman Andrew Letts, the donor of the Mayoral gold badge and chain. It was easy to go through the machinery of welding three boroughs into one, but a far more diffi-cult task to weld the people into one united group. He hoped that the insignia would go towards achieving that purpose. How right he is — that is one of the functions of sym-bolism, and a coat of arms incorporating symbols of the three old boroughs is indeed an outward sign of unity. The actual donors of the insignia also underline this desirable unity. Alderman Letts, Sutton's first Mayor, was deputy Mayor of the former Sutton and Cheam Council. Atomic Power Constructions Ltd., which presented the Mayoress's badge and chain, occupy a 16-storey modern office block in the new borough. The Distillers' Company which gave the deputy Mayor's badge have been in Carshalton — another con-stituent part of the borough — since 1927. The third donation is most touching. The badge for the deputy Mayor's consort has been pre-sented by the Sutton branch of the local government officers' association and by the late Mr . Geoffrey Ryder, deputy clerk of civic insignia, illustrating generously the interest he took in local government work. He died two years ago but made provision in his will for the purchase of an item of in-signia. This interesting account might be read by the councillors of the new borough of Camden, who might also look at the work of Mr . Styles to see how tradition and modernity can be mingled successfully. The Camden councillors (or the majority) wanted to be 'with it' and rejected the arms designed for them in favour of a ghastly commercial ' s y m b o l ' which local people call 'the clutch-ing hands' (symbolic in the wrong way of the continual demand for higher rates). The council paid for both the grant of traditional arms and for the commercial job, so the rate-payers paid twice over.

H E R A L D R Y G A Z E T T E

WHEN IS A COAT NOT A COAT?

The headmaster of Northowram Primary School thought that it would be a good idea if the school had its own badge. Conse-quently one of the trustees obligingly in-vented the following shield: a black back-ground divided by two blue diagonal lines; in chief is the letter 'N' for Northowram, to the dexter is a bell, to the sinister a pair of dividers, and in base a sheep statant guard-ant facing the sinister. The charges are worked in blue and gold. The question is; is this a coat of arms? Or, because the colours are virtually impossible from an heraldic viewpoint, does not even the use of a shield make it an heraldic representation?

This is an academic problem, but it under-lines the fact that headmasters who invent badges for their schools, because they are meant to teach propriety in all things, should be doubly careful to avoid the use of any badge which could be described as 'bogus heraldry'.

BORROWED PLUMES

At times we become weary of explaining, particularly to local authorities, that their armorial bearings are their own property and may not be used by all and sundry. It is therefore gratifying that Mr . Rowland Bretton, F.H.S. has made this clear once again in his series of articles in the M u n i c i p a l J o u r n a l . While dealing with two interesting civic badges granted by the Kings of Arms to the City of Manchester and the County Council of Cheshire (both designed by Mr . H . Ellis Tomlinson, F.H.S.) he writes: "Use of a civic badge may be allowed to societies wishing to have the use of a town or district's emblem: the use of the corporation's or council's coat of arms being inappropriate and contrary to the laws of arms". We hope that Town Clerks will read, mark and act. One of the groups of offenders are local newspapers, a number of which incorporate a town's arms in their title-line, in the same way as The Times used to appropriate the Royal Arms (and two Sunday newspapers at least, still do). While it is virtually impossible to go through the whole of Britain's news-papers, which exceed a thousand in number, to pick out the culprits. Town Clerks in those towns and boroughs where a local newspaper does err, might take the matter up. It is par-ticularly irritating to those newspapers in the same circulation area who, for one reason or another, do not like to give themselves a semi-official air. We have no doubt that the newspapers who do use the arms will say that it is merely a traditional gesture but nevertheless if they want to maintain that they are completely free from official inter-ference, a way of showing it is to drop the arms.

'SELLING COAT OF ARMS SPLITS COUNCIL GROUP'

Victoria's group committee " A " thought it improper for Jeune Brothers to seek per-mission to use the city's coat of arms on souvenirs.

It not only rejected the company's bid but also recommended that the official coat of arms be used only for civic purposes.

The reasoning of the committee failed to persuade Ald . Hugh Stephen and city council that the decision was wise.

"In Britain and throughout Europe in cities far more ancient than Victoria, cities with fine tradition, the practice of using the official coat of arms on souvenirs is encour-aged," he said. "Those cities are only too

happy to have tourists take something home with them that will remind them of the city they visited.

"The provincial government permits the use of its coat of arms, so does the federal government. This is a tourist town and we should rejoice that a company is prepared to use our coat of arms on souvenirs.

"I am amazed that the committee would reject the request and think it would be quite disastrous if we were to forbid the use of our coat of arms in this way." ( V i c t o r i a ( B . C . ) Times, 11-3-66).

USE OF ARMS

So many and varied are the uses to which armorial bearings are put that to explore the motives of those responsible for displaying shields and crests would be an infinite task. That many displays of armorial bearings are right and proper is not to be doubted and it seems a cavil amid so much that is good, to draw attention to such as is misconceived.

Indeed, generally we would prefer to leave these matters to the good judgment of herald-ists; but it may amuse them to peruse the following uses that have been made or con-templated of armorial bearings, and to say which do and which do not verge on offend-ing the laws of arms.

CREST G O - A H E A D 'South Shields Finance Committee has

given permission for the town's coat of arms to be used on medals presented during South Shields sports week and on the cover of pro-grammes for South Shields Savings Com-mittee. ( S h i e l d s Gazette, 27-4-66) '

N A M E BOARDS ' A l l the name boards outside London's

schools are to be repainted by the Inner London Education Authority at an estimated cost of £17,300. The boards will now include the name of the authority and the Greater London Council's coat of arms. (St. M a r y -l e h o n e & P a d d i n g t o n R e c o r d , 25-2-66).'

UPTON-ON-SEVERN 'The rural council has rejected an applic-

ation by Lloyds Bank for the use of the Council's coat-of-arms as part of a mural. ( B i r m i n g h a m Post, 19-2-66).'

A TEST OF S K I L L 'Drivers in the London Borough of Brom-

ley are being invited by the council to try their skill in a series of driving tests at Biggin Hi l l aerodrome on May 29th.

The tests include measured braking, park-ing, garaging, obstacle avoidance, and judg-ment of turning circles. Successful drivers will receive car badges incorporating the council crest. ( E v e n i n g S t a n d a r d , 2-5-66).'

HERE AND THERE

Mr. Roy Williams of Criccieth chose an unusual medium in which to carve the arms of the Borough of Caernarvon — Penrhyn blue slate. His very handsome carving won him an " A " selection in the arts and crafts exhibition at the National Eisteddfod and the Borough of Caernarvon bought his work.

The T a m w o r t h H e r a l d (19-8-66) was the herald of the good news that the Minister of Housing and Local Government has agreed to make a grant of £535 to Tamworth Borough Council to cover the whole cost of

restoring the heraldic decorations in the state drawing room and oak room of Tamworth Castle. There are over sixty shields of arms and the work of restoration will be in the hands of M r . C. P. Anthony of London.

We have often noted, at dinners of The Heraldry Society and elsewhere, that heraldry and gastronomy seem to go very well to-gether. This may explain why members of the Innholders' Company of London, who hold heraldry in contempt by using illicit arms, also have no palates. A press cutting (sent for no known reason) informed us that members of this company were eating roast grouse only eight hours after they had been shot — a mortal gastronomic sin, and we use the word 'mortal' advisedly. If any inn-holders survived this barbaric orgy may we suggest they take steps to obtain some arms and so start a civilising process which may save many a life come next 12th August.

Armorial decoration has ever been a feature of fine ecclesiastical vestments and so we are glad to learn that the Bishop of Worcester's new cope is to be embroidered with arms.

We are delighted to note that during this summer there have been several exhibitions of church plate. If the public is to be made conscious of our historic churches and their treasures and so help with their preservation it needs to know the magnitude and magnifi-cence of our heritage.

The D a i l y M i r r o r (28-7-66) tells us that Dr. Horace King's choice of a 'motif ' for his coat of arms, as Speaker, would provide a break with tradition: 'As the first Socialist Speaker, he would undoubtedly like to in-corporate a motif symbolising Labour'. The M i r r o r is a little behind with its ideas. Numbers of Labour peers have chosen charges associated with labour for their arms, and before there was a Labour Party others did not hesitate to show their association with some form of work — weavers' shuttles, spades and axes abound.

While implements of labour may be com-mon as charges, the head of Democritus must be rare. Apparently there was once an office of great antiquity, although now obsolete, in Gloucester, known as the mayor of Barton-st. His 'arms' are said to have been borne on the dexter side of the head of Democritus, "called the laughing philosopher, because he laughed at the follies of mankind; his face is full, round and laughing and crowned with a wreath of red roses", to quote the Gloucester C i t i z e n (13-6-66).

We are definitely in the electronic age, but heraldry still has a place. Torquay town council now has an impressive computer to produce rate demands among other things. But at a demonstration, the machine pro-duced 'pictures', including a 'facsimile' of the borough coat of arms. Well not quite a facsimile; it was made up of dots and gave a rough impression of the arms. Still, we never know what might be round the corner. A happy thought for heraldic designers: a com-puter cannot create a new idea — it still takes a human being to do that.

The Council also wishes to express its grat-itude for the very kind offer of Mr. P. J. Brandon to put his electric duplicating machine at the service of the Society. The Secretary has already had occasion to take advantage of this generous offer.

COAT OF ARMS FOR SALE

No, it is the magazine not the insignia of gentility. The Secretary has a complete set of The C o a t of A r m s for sale less No. 9 which can be made good with a reprint. The price is 20 guineas (60 dollars). He also has Nos. 1 to 7 for sale at 4 guineas (12 dollars). Mem-bers wishing to purchase either of these sets should inform the Secretary but send no money for, in the event of more than one member applying a ballot will be held before the meeting on 14th December. The reason for not holding the ballot until December is to give members living over-seas an opport-unity to apply.

TESTS

The Tests in Elementary and Intermediate Heraldry will be held between 18th and 22nd November, 1966. Those wishing to take the tests should inform the Secretary before 1st November. They should also send the Secre-tary the name and address of someone will-ing to invigilate whilst they take the tests and to whom the papers can be sent.

Whilst every effort will be made to ensure that papers for candidates living outside Great Britain arrive by 18th November, should they arrive too late for the Tests to be taken during the stated period, they should be taken at the first possible moment following their receipt.

The Tests in Intermediate Heraldry may not be attempted unless those in Elementary Heraldry have been passed at a previous examination. Certificates will be awarded to successful candidates. Members are reminded that sample papers will be sent by the Secre-tary on receipt of a stamped, addressed envelope.

PROGRAMME

There will be two courses in heraldic art this winter. The course for beginners will take place each Monday at 6.30 p.m., begin-ning on 3rd October.

The advanced class will meet at the same time each Thursday beginning 6th October. The tutor will be Mr . H . N . Manwaring, Hon. F.H.S. Members who have not already signed on for these classes but would like to do so should write to the Secretary. It may be possible for students to join the classes even after the beginning of the course.

A l l art classes take place at the Society's Offices in Gordon Square.

CHANGE IN PROGRAMME

Unforeseen circumstances have made it im-possible for M r . Ivan Huntley to give his lecture, 'Some Continental Armorials', on Wednesday, 8th February, 1967. Instead Major N . P. Dawnay, M . A . has kindly agreed to read a paper entitled 'The Evol-ution of the Colours of the Infantry of the Line of the British Army'.

HERALDRY COURSE AT CHELTENHAM

M r . J . C. Soulsby, M . A . will be giving a course of twenty lectures for the Cheltenham Workers' Education Association. The lec-tures will be held each Wednesday, starting on 5th October, at 7.30 p.m. at the W .E .A . Centre, 25 Rodney Road, Cheltenham.

Members who would like further partic-ulars of these lectures should apply to the Secretary at the W.E .A. Centre.

SLIDE LIBRARY COMMITTEE REPORT

Mr. G. W. Potter, Chairman of the Slide Library Committee has submitted the follow-ing report for 1965-66: —

At a meeting held in the spring of 1965 the Committee decided that a card index for the slide collection was urgently needed and that the compilation of such an index must be started immediately. During the summer regular indexing sessions were held with the welcome assistance of volunteers. The result was that the carding and broad classification of the slides was soon completed. The Com-mittee was most grateful for the help given by M r . R. Hatton and M r . F . G. F. Keyes.

During the course of indexing slides it soon became evident that a number was missing and it was decided that although the whereabouts of most of them was known, no slide should be recorded on a card until it had passed through the hands of those re-sponsible for this work. There is still a num-ber of slides to come in.

The index has been based on the excellent record which Mr . Frank Smith kept in book form, but instead of a numerical list the material has been classified into the various types of heraldry to be found in the collec-

tion. This has been done by the use of var-ious coloured cards. A t the moment no complicated cross-referencing to cover quart-erings and impalements has been undertaken, but it is hoped that these refinements will be introduced at a later date.

During the year materials have been pur-chased not only for the card index but also for starting a standard system for mounting slides. A l l new material will be mounted in this manner and existing stock will gradually be remounted in the same way. The advant-age of the method adopted is that the refer-ence number of the slide and the initials of the photographer can be recorded under the covering glass so that they do not become erased with constant handling.

The appointment of Mr . F. G. F. Keyes as slide librarian should greatly facilitate the smooth running of the collection since he is able to spend more time at Gordon Square than the other committee members.

Borrowings during the year have been moderate, but it has been noted that although some of these must have been for fee pro-ducing lectures, no voluntary contributions have been made towards the maintenance and expansion of the slide library. Approxi-mately 150 new slides have been taken into the collection over the past twelve months. Mr . F. W. Smith recently photographed the Society's Grant of Arms " in toto" and then in considerable detail and he has presented the results of his labours to the Society.

OBITUARY

It is with great regret that we have to an-nounce the death of a very old member and friend of the Society, Major Thomas Golding Woolley, T.D. Major Woolley died on 5th August 1966 at the age of 76 and the Chair-man and Council of the Society were repre-sented at the funeral by Lt . -Col . W. J. Mac-donald.

Major Woolley was known to most mem-bers as a keen correspondent and contributor to the C o a t of A r m s , but over and above this he established close personal relations with officers of the Society, constantly offering encouragement, help and advice. Before he retired to Dorset he worked with Associated Electrical Industries, being closely concerned with the grant of arms to that body and saw active service in both World Wars.

His last heraldic action was to design and present arms to Sturminster Rural District Council. His death is a great loss to the Society.

It is also our sad duty to record the deaths of Mr. F. A . Hawkins, a member for four-teen years; Professor D . M . Owings, a keen genealogist who lost his life in an accident in the United States; Brother W. M . Stritch, S.J.. who joined the Society in 1953; Prince Charles Mistruzzi di Frisinga, a well known Italian armorist who played an important part in the International Genealogical and Heraldic Congresses and who had been a keen member of the Society for eleven years. Mr . E. G . Glasswell who joined the Society in 1952; and Mrs. B. L . Walz.
