The design on the shield, a figure sitting on a tombstone wearing a bishop’s mitre with a sword in his mouth
may be a reference to the depiction of Christ in
Revelation 19:15 ,
is associated with the early bishops of Chichester,
and is also in the arms of the Diocese of Chichester
(Burke, Bernard, The General Armory of England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales , p 193 . 1884 , London, Harrison & Sons ).
The dedicatee was ordained deacon by the bishop
of Chichester. A similar symbol is below St Richard of Chichester in
