Arms of Kemble GreenwoodBlazonSable a chevron Erminois cotised between three saltires couped Or; SymbolismThe design is based on the arms granted to Mr. Greenwood’s cousin, Major Alexander Greenwood. Major Greenwood’s arms are identical except for the colours: the saltires (X shapes) and cotises (narrow chevrons on either side of the main chevron) have been changed from white to gold. This alteration makes the arms unique, and at the same time it clearly indicates the family relationship between Alexander and Kemble, as well as the ancient lineage in England. |
