The crest seems to sum up everything that a Building Society stands for: the security of houses, of their tenure, and of the investors' savings. A silver lion rampant, used here as supporter, featured in the former Chelsea Borough's arms and was thought to have been derived from the Cadogan family's lion. The Cadogans, Lords of the Manor, derived the manor by marriage with a daughter of Sir Hans Sloane, the physician, Mayor and antiquary whose collection formed the origins of the British Museum. | The crest seems to sum up everything that a Building Society stands for: the security of houses, of their tenure, and of the investors' savings.
