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 Domesday Book records that the manors of Bourne (now called Westbourne) and Warblington were held by Roger de Monte Gomeri and so the fleur de lys with the embattled quarterings and the colours of or and azure together represent the Manor of Warblington including Emsworth. Thus it will be seen that the devices on the shield represent Hayling Island and Warblington. | The Domesday Book records that the manors of Bourne (now called Westbourne) and Warblington were held by Roger de Monte Gomeri and so the fleur de lys with the embattled quarterings and the colours of or and azure together represent the Manor of Warblington including Emsworth.
