===Official blazon=== | |||
Azure, a saltire per saltire quarterly counterchanged Or and argent. | |||
===Origin/meaning=== | |||
The arms were recorded at the College of Arms. | The arms were recorded at the College of Arms. | ||
These arms are those of Wells alone, being a variation of the cross of St. Andrew to whom the cathedral is dedicated. | |||
Alternatively they may be derived from the arms attributed by the medieval heralds to the Kingdom of Mercia since Bath Abbey (for a time a cathedral church) was the descendant of a College founded by the Mercian King Offa. | |||
The seal of Robert Burnell (1275-92) has on one side of the bishop's effigy the keys of St. Peter and on the other the saltire of St. Andrew. Bishop Montagu (1608-16) placed a saltire for Wells between the sword and keys of the Abbey of Bath. In so doing he appears to have partially followed the example of Bishop Beckington (1443-65) who bore these arms with the addition of a pastoral staff in pale behind the saltire. This coat appears frequently in Wells Cathedral. | |||
