| Heraldic version of the Holy House of Walsingham Rendered by Chad Krouse, 2024 |
For background information on the arms assigned to the College of Guardians of the Holy House of Walsingham which were designed and granted by the College of Arms, please click here to read my prior post on the subject. I am chuffed to finally see a properly rendered Holy House. Since heraldry is an abstract form of art, specific buildings named in a blazon (such as the Holy House, for example) are rendered in a suggestive manner. In other words, specifically named objects are illustrated in a way to help identify it without too much detail. Why? I don't know. This is the way.

I've also gone ahead and designed the banner of arms for a 3ft x 5ft flag which I will commission soon. My translation for the flag does not comply with the Earl Marshal's Warrant of 1938 which codified ecclesiastical flags within the Church of England.

For compliance, the flag would show a white field, red cross of St. George, and in the dexter quarter would appear the arms of the Guardians on an escutcheon.
