The bearings are, however, attested by ancient stained glass in the Cathedral; and Harl. MS. 1546, ascribes them to St. Ethelbert, but depicts a crescent instead of the bezant. After the canonization of Bishop Cantelupe in 1316, the See assumed the paternal coat of arms of that Saint, which has been continued to the present time, viz., Gules, three leopards' heads inverted, jessant as many fleurs de lis or."
