A portcullis is a gate of defence which can be let up or down in grooves; heavy chains are attached for this purpose. The symbolism is obvious – portcullis is a defence against evils which may attack the home. Below these may be seen blue and white alternative wavy lines which represent the sea, indented by a chevron, or roof tree, in red and white. The chevron is borrowed from the coat-of-Arms of Mary Sumner. | A portcullis is a gate of defence which can be let up or down in grooves; heavy chains are attached for this purpose.
