Dominating the crest is the Great Bustard, once Britain’s largest native bird which last roamed wild on Salisbury Plain towards the end of the 19th century and also appears on the arms of Wiltshire. The device on the bird’s wing is the boss from a horse’s bit and the bird is rising from a valley or ‘combe’ in a ‘down’, the name given to the chalk uplands above or between river valleys. | Dominating the crest is the Great Bustard, once Britain’s largest native bird which last roamed wild on Salisbury Plain towards the end of the 19th century and also appears on the arms of Wiltshire.
