專家說明
The Worshipful Company of Weavers is the oldest recorded livery company and is mentioned in the Pipe Roll of 1130 and was granted its first charter from Henry II in 1155. The use of a peer's helm above the arms is unusual in that it was normally considered unsuitable for use within a Corporation's arms. Only four City Companies out of a total of 83 used the peer's helmet in their arms, the first three without authority; its use here draws a distinction for the bearer of the shield.
