Symbolism

Mr. Petley-Jones’ arms are based on the arms of his father, Commander Evan Petley-Jones, differenced with a border alternating gold and black. The arms of Commander Evan Petley-Jones were taken from the arms of his two great-grandfathers, Sir Charles Thomas Jones, Kt., of Montgomery, Powis, Wales, and Charles Carter Petley, Esq., of Riverhead, Kent, England. The shield of the Petleys was differenced with the lion passant guardant and Saracen’s head to indicate Jones ancestry. The anchor in the canton is in reference to the Commander’s naval career.
