Double arms of Carlisle
Double arms of Carlisle
From about 1885 to 1924, Carlisle had 'double' arms featuring the medieval (to the left in the photo) and the 17th Century arms (right) until the College of Arms insisted that a single shield replace them. The blazons are: or on a cross patée between four roses gules a rose of the field barbed and seeded proper; vert the base barry wavy of six argent and azure, and issuing therefrom a castle between two roses or, on a chief gules a lion passant guardant of the fourth (Fox-Davies, the Book of Public Arms). The motto "be just and fear not" comes from Shakespeare's Henry VIII. For more see LinkExternal link
