History - Amorial bearings

The Arms were granted on the 10th August, 1571 and are reproduced on the Great Seal of the Company which bears that date.

Similar arms were in use by the Company before 1530. The 1571 seal bears the motto "GOD GRANNTE US TO USE JUSTICE WITHE MERCYE".
This was changed in 1769 to the present: "JOIN LOYALTY AND LIBERTY" a political slogan associated with John Wilkes, who was Master in 1774.

The supporters originated early in the eighteenth century and are associated with the Boyce family.

Although these full armorial bearings have been in use for over 200 years, it was not until 1995 following Letters Patent completed by the Lancaster Herald of Arms that submissions were made to the College of Arms for recognition and acceptance.
