==Leyton Coat of Arms http://www.civicheraldry.co.uk/essex_ob.html#leyton_bc http://www.civicheraldry.co.uk/great_london.html#waltham%20forest%20lb https://www.heraldry-wiki.com/wiki/Leyton The coat of arms of the municipal borough were granted on 27 November 1926. The arms were described as "Or three Chevronels Gules on a Chief Gules a Lion passant Or".
The crest was: "On a Wreath Or and Gules a Lion rampant per pale Or and Sable supporting a Crozier Gold".
The Latin language motto was "MINISTRANDO DIGNITAS" meaning "dignity in service".
Elements of the arms commemorated various families who had held manors within the borough during the Middle Ages, and also the nearby Stratford Langthorne Abbey which had held lands in Leyton before the Dissolution of the Monasteries.[10] T
Which!
he lion and cross-staff on the crest of the Leyton arms have been preserved in the arms of the London Borough of Waltham Forest, which were granted on 1 January 1965.[11]
http://www.civicheraldry.co.uk/essex_ob.html Leyton consisted of the manors of Marks, Ruckholt and Leyton and the arms are derived from the heraldry of the various holders of these.
The Manor of Marks belonged until 1545 to the Priory of St. Helens, it was then granted to Paul Withipole and his son, whose family is recalled by the lion passant from their arms.
The Church of Leyton was given by Gilbert Montfitchet to the Abbey and Convent of Stratford in 1134. The gift was confirmed by the Charter of Henry II in 1182, and later in 1200 the Manor of Leyton was also given to the Abbey. The Abbey of Stratford was founded in William Montfitchet in 1134 and the chevronels are from his family's arms.
The crozier is another reference to the Abbey of Stratford. Although the object in the crest is blazoned as a crozier it is usually depicted as a cross-staff, such as borne before an archbishop.
The Manor of Ruckholt was held until his death in 1417 by Sir Adam Frauncey, from whose arms comes the gold and black lion. The crozier is another reference to the Abbey of Stratford. Although the object in the crest is blazoned as a crozier it is usually depicted as a cross-staff, such as borne before an archbishop.
