At the weekend we made use of our National Trust membership for a quick visit to Mottisfont Priory. The one bit of heraldry that caught my eye were the gates:
Burke’s General Armory gives the Arms of the Mill Baronets, who once owned the estate, as:
Arms: Per fesse Argent and Sable a pale counterchanged three bears salient of the second muzzled and chained Or.
Crest: A demi bear salient Sable muzzled and chained Or.
Motto: Aides Dieu
