The company was founded in the 1560s by William Umfreville. The Arms of the Umfreville family were originally a single cinquefoil in gold on a red field surrounded by crosses patonce. These have been transposed into the new arms by the inclusion of a large cross patonce with a single cinquefoil on a red field in the first and fourth quarters. | |||
The arms of the Pickering family were a lion rampant on an ermine field. As a deviation from that, but picking up the colours of the Umfreville arms, the second and third quarters bear a gold lion rampant on an Azure field. | |||
The Crest consists of a coronet of alternating crosses patonce and cinquefoils, continuing the Umfreville connection. Arising out of the coronet is a demi-pegasus. Besides signifying swiftness of service (as the lions signify strength) the pegasus also appears in the Arms of the [[Honourable Society of the Inner Temple|Inner Temple]] and thus again commemorates the Umfreville connection with the Temple. The legal flavour of the Arms is reinforced by the fact that the [[aw Society of England and Wales|Law Society]]'s Arms have as supporters a lion and a pegasus. | |||
The motto 'Fidelis et Fortis' is best translated as Faithful and Strong'. | |||
