METROPOLITAN ASYLUMS BOARD (1867-1930)
Official blazon
English |
Arms: Argent, on a cross gules, the rod of Æsculapius or, a bordure engrailed sable.
Origin/meaningThe arms were officially granted in 1914. On the central white shield rests the St. George's cross, representing the red cross of medicine and ambulance work, and in the centre of the cross is the golden staff of Æsculapius, the founder of the art of healing. On the dexter side is an eagle, the bird of health and strength, wreathed with red and white roses, recalling the Wars of the Roses, which began in the Temple Gardens adjoining the chief offices of the Board. On the sinister side is a chained dragon symbolising disease held in check.. Arising out of a celestial crown above the shield, and forming the chief feature of the design, is a demi-figure of St. Luke, the Christian healer, somewhat similar to the design which has been in use for a seal since the establishment of the Board in 1867. On the scroll b~low the design is the motto, Miseris succurrere disco, meaning "I learn to bring healing to them that are sick. Literature: Image from Fox Davies, 1916 (coloured by Andrew Gray), background from a leaflet from the board, 1930.
