Last Friday I left you with a number of crests belonging to the coats of arms of various towns, cities and counties in the UK. The crest sits above the shield, the torse (not a horse as the spell check keeps trying to tell me) and the helm. How did you do? And of course, there were some notable exceptions – the owl on Leeds crest, Hereford’s white lion and Lancaster’s sailing boat to name but a few. The next instalment will follow today.
