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.
