Institutional Heraldry of the World :
|
English |
Arms : Argent, on a cross between in the first quarter a sword erect gules and in the second quarter a chough proper, a roach haurient of the first; on a chief azure a rose of the field, barbed and seeded proper, between two fleurs-de-lys Or. |
Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted on February 14, 1950.
The cross and sword refer to the city of London.
The Nightingale bird on the right represents Florence Nightingale an is a symbol for a hospital.
The two choughs (on the London arms and as a supporter, popularly know as the Becket bird) represent Thomas Becket after which the hospital is named.
The spears in the crest represents Thomas the Apostle, who was speared to death.
I have no information on the other elements.
