Modern Uses
The beast was on the coat of arms of the Municipal Borough of Enfield, which was amalgamated with the Municipal Borough of Edmonton and the Municipal Borough of Southgate to form the London Borough of Enfield; but it is not sure whether the beast has any historic connection with the town. It is used as an emblem by some organisations there: for example, on the arms of the London Borough of Enfield and on the badges of Chace Community School, Enfield Ignatians R.F.C. and of the football clubs Enfield (1893) F.C. and Enfield Town F.C., as well as Oneida FC.
In Australia, it was used in the crest of the old City of Enfield (which was named after the London borough), and is still used by the Enfield Brass Band.
