The shield has embattled quarterings of gold and blue on which are displayed four keys with their terminal ends being in the design of a fleur de lys. The embattled quartering is an allusion to the old castle at Warblington. The keys have been taken from the Arms of the monks of Jumieges. History records that in 1067 William the Conqueror vested in the Abbey of Jumieges the island called Hayling with all its belongings, and it seemed appropriate therefore that four keys should be representative of Hayling Island. The fleur de lys and the colours of the quartered shield were prominent on the Arms of Montgomeri. | The shield has embattled quarterings of gold and blue on which are displayed four keys with their terminal ends being in the design of a fleur de lys.
