Coat of Arms
Traditionally, English heraldry limited the use of heraldic symbols and devices to a single individual, who passed down these Coat of arms down from generation to generation. Originally each 'Family' would have their colours (for the Mellors's this was white and gold), then it became 'fashionable' to adopt a motif that was significant to the family.
