The livery colours are an allusion to the national colours of the Isle of Man and the partition line reflects the shape of Tynwald Hill upon which all new Manx Laws are promulgated. The grantee was a Magistrates Clerk and a Legislator on the Island. The sheep and the lymphad refer both to the Island and a seafaring heritage whilst the Cross is both a symbol of faith and a reference to the north east of England where the grantee studied.
