seeded slipped and leaved Or<br />
Badge: A Roundel set with ten Acorns leaved Or and charged with a Badger's Face<br />
Argent eyes striped Azure<br />
<strong>The</strong> Arms reflect the grantee's wish for simplicity as well as<br />
suggesting a graph or opinion poll. <strong>The</strong> roses refer to the grantee's<br />
part in the choice of the red rose as the emblem of the Labour party.<br />
<strong>The</strong> badgers and acorns are an obvious pun on Brookwood.<br />
Baron Marland (Jonathan Peter Marland) cr 20<strong>06</strong> ( Baron Marland, of Odstock in the County of Wiltshire)<br />
Arms: Azure on each of three Bars wavy Or two Martlets respectant Sable<br />
Crest: A Lion sejant erect Or gorged with a plain Collar attached thereto a Line terminating<br />
in a ring Sable and holding between the forefeet a Bobbin also Sable the Yarn Or<br />
Supporters: On either side a Labrador Sable gorged with a plain Collar Or and holding in<br />
the interior for<strong>ep</strong>aw three Bulrushes Sable slipped and leaved Or<br />
Badge: Two Martlets respectant that on the dexter quarterly Sable and Or and that on the<br />
sinister quarterly Or and Sable<br />
<strong>The</strong> Arms are a variation on those hitherto borne by the family without proper authority.<br />
Black labradors have been increasingly popular in heraldry; and in this instance they are<br />
shown holding bullrushes as the grantee is Chairman of a marshland environmental<br />
project.<br />
<strong>The</strong> bobbin in the Crest refers to the grantee's wife Penelope.<br />
<strong>The</strong> classical Penelope was associated with weaving a<br />
winding sheet during the absence of her husband Odysseus.<br />
Baron James of Blackheath (David Noel James) cr 20<strong>06</strong>, CBE (Baron James of Blackheath, of Wildbrooks in<br />
the County of West Sussex)<br />
Arms: Quarterly Or and Argent on a Cross Gules between four Trumpets in saltire<br />
bells outwards Gules banded Or a Cross quarterly Argent and Or<br />
Crest: Statant upon a Violin Bridge Gules a Cricket Or<br />
Supporters: On either side a Greyhound Gules gorged with a plain Collar attached<br />
thereto a Chain reflexed over the back Or holding in the mouth a Rose Argent<br />
barbed seeded slipped and leaved Or<br />
Badge: Three Escallops in pall flukes inwards and abutting Gules each crowned with<br />
an Ancient Crown Or<br />
Music, cricket and greyhounds are of particular interest to<br />
the grantee. Music is r<strong>ep</strong>resented by the violin bridge and<br />
trumpets with cricket by the cricket insect. <strong>The</strong>re is a<br />
variation on St George's cross and the escallops in the<br />
Badge are the emblem of St James and hence a pun on the<br />
grantee's title.<br />
