The crest of the Pilkingtons
General notes
The crest of the Pilkingtons borne above the shield was a mower with his scythe. This relates to the story that "the ancestor of the family being sought for at the time of the Norman invasion disguised himself as a mower and so escaped."
The inscription is the family motto: Now Thus, Now Thus.
