Origin/meaning
There are several coats of arms for the various English branches of the Cartwright family. The episcopal coat on which Bishop Cartwright's arms are based is that of the Cartwright family which bears canting arms, consisting of a golden field bearing a black fess between three like-tinctured cartwheels.
To make those arms peculiar to the Bishop, the cartwheels of the original arms have been altered to Catherine wheels, the usual heraldic form of wheels. This type of wheel seems more befitting to a Successor of the Apostles, because it is the symbol of St. Catherine of Alexandria, the patroness of Catholic philosophers. The Emperor Maximus II, after Catherine had converted the pagan philosophers of the court, ordered her bound between four wheels rimmed with spikes, and torn to death. As the sentence was being carried out, a great burst of flame from heaven destroyed the wheels. Catherine was then beheaded.
One of the cartwheels beneath the fess has been omitted to give place to the symbol of St. Hubert of Liège, the baptismal patron of the Bishop. The stag's head with the cross between the antlers is significant of the legend which recounts that St. Hubert was hunting in the forest of Ardennes during Holy Week when a milk-white stag with a crucifix between the horns approached him. St. Hubert thereupon gave up the chase and his pursuit of the vanities of life, was ordained a priest and eventually became Bishop of Li1ege.
The arms of the various branches of the Quinn family consist of a green field, with at times a golden chief, but always with an ermine pegasus or winged horse. Since the pegasus is a rather heavy charge, the family of the Bishop's mother is honored on this shield by changing the Cartwright tincture to the green and gold of the Quinn arms, and by the ermine spots on the fess.
