Rory Henry Grattan Fisher

Azure a dolphin naiant between in chief two harps and in base a cross ancré Or;

The dolphin represents the municipality of Brighton in England where Dr. Fisher grew up. Coincidentally, a heraldic dolphin appears somewhat similar to a large fish, thereby creating a heraldic pun on his name. The cross “anchory” is chosen to represent his school, Downside School, and the harps allude to the Irish heritage of both Dr. Fisher and his wife.

A cross fretty Azure;

The fretty pattern appears as a section of a fisherman’s net, alluding to Dr. Fisher’s name again. Its design also allows a possible religious interpretation, the overlapping edges having neither beginning nor ending.
