The supporters are derived from the royal Tudor dragons of Henry VIII and Elizabeth, who confirmed previous Charters. Henry bore the dragon in red and his daughter in gold, as supporters to the Royal Arms, an example of which can be seen in the Council Offices. Here the dragons' wings are folded like those of the dragon in this panel, dated 1589. The mural crowns are appropriate to a borough, and the banners of the pommelled cross of St. Michael and the keys of St. Peter refer to the parish church and the ancient Fishermen's Church of St. Peter, whose site is now occupied by St. Peter's House. | The supporters are derived from the royal Tudor dragons of Henry VIII and Elizabeth, who confirmed previous Charters.
