Arms and motto of The Rev. Alfred Hope Patten Rendered by Chad Krouse, 2025 |
The Rev. Alfred Hope Patten (1885-1958), priest in the Church of England, was responsible for restoring the Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham. If not for Father Patten, there would be no Anglican commemoration of Our Lady in Walsingham today.
The blazon for the arms of The Rev. A. Hope Patten:
Arms: Lozengy Sable and Ermine, a canton Gules;
Motto: Nulla Pallescere Culpa, Latin for "to turn pale at no crime."
I based Father Patten's arms on an image of his ex libris which I found online. Note the use of two black tassels, which normally identify the cleric as a dean, and likely used due to the Shrine's status.

Impaled arms of The Rev. Alfred Hope Patten with those of the College of Guardians Rendered by Chad Krouse, 2025 |
To show Father Patten's relationship to the Anglican Shrine in a way only heraldry can do, I've created an impalement of his personal arms with those of the College of Guardians of the Holy House of Walsingham.

Dear Chad M. Krouse, please, could you tell me if there is rules to paint in gules (red) the inside the galero (roman capello). I like the inside gules in a galero sable (black) because the gule gives more deep to the drawing, thanks.
