The knave was prosecuted by the College in the county of Suffolk, and was sentenced to be <a href="/wiki/Pillory" title="Pillory">pilloried</a> in several market towns on public market days and afterwards to be imprisoned and pay a fine.

Apart from these events the influence of the College was greatly diminished.<a href="#cite_note-Noble_375-60">[59]</a> In 1742 a Sugar House was built against the wall of the College. This structure was a fire risk and the cause of great anxiety among the heralds. In 1775 the College Surveyor drew attention to this problem, but to no avail. In February 1800, the College was asked by a Select Committee of the <a href="/wiki/House_of_Commons_of_the_United_Kingdom" title="House of Commons of the United Kingdom">House of Commons</a> to report to them the state of public records; again the heralds drew attention to the proximity of the Sugar House. Members of the committee inspected the College premises and reported to the House that the College must either be moved to a new building or secured against the risk of fire. Again nothing was done; in 1812 water seeped through the walls of the College damaging records. The Surveyor traced the leak back to a shed recently erected by Alderman Smith, owner of the Sugar House, who declared his readiness to do everything he could, but who actually did very little to rectify the situation.<a href="#cite_note-Wagner_472-61">[60]</a> After years of negotiation the College, in 1820, bought the Sugar House from Smith for the sum of £1,500.<a href="#cite_note-Wagner_474-62">[61]</a> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Herald%27s_College_April_17,_1830.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/74/Herald%27s_College_April_17%2C_1830.jpg/220px-Herald%27s_College_April_17%2C_1830.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="161" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/74/Herald%27s_College_April_17%2C_1830.jpg/330px-Herald%27s_College_April_17%2C_1830.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/74/Herald%27s_College_April_17%2C_1830.jpg/440px-Herald%27s_College_April_17%2C_1830.jpg 2x" data-file-width="625" data-file-height="458" /></a><figcaption>Herald's College, Bennet's Hill.

A petition from the College was given to the Lords of the Treasury setting out the herald's reason for the move: "that the local situation of the College is so widely detached from the proper scene of the official duties and occupations of Your Memorialists and from the residences of that class of persons by whom the records in their charge are chiefly and most frequently consulted."<a href="#cite_note-Wagner_477-65">[64]</a> Nash himself was asked by the College to design a new building near fashionable <a href="/wiki/Trafalgar_Square" title="Trafalgar Square">Trafalgar Square</a> but Nash's elaborate plan proved too costly and ambitious for the College.<a href="#cite_note-Wagner_478-66">[65]</a> At the same time the College also asked <a href="/wiki/Robert_Abraham_(architect)" title="Robert Abraham (architect)">Robert Abraham</a> to submit to them a second plan for the building. When Nash heard that another architect was approached behind his back he reacted vehemently, and attacked the heralds.<a href="#cite_note-Wagner_479-67">[66]</a> The College nevertheless continued with their plans. However they were constantly beset by conflicts between the different officers over the amount needed to build a new building. By 1827 the college still had no coherent plan; the <a href="/wiki/Bernard_Howard,_12th_Duke_of_Norfolk" title="Bernard Howard, 12th Duke of Norfolk">Duke of Norfolk</a> ordered the College to drop the matter altogether.<a href="#cite_note-Wagner_486-68">[67]</a> By 1842 the heralds were reconciled with their location and once again commissioned Abraham to build a new octagonal-shaped Record Room on the site of the old Sugar House.<a href="#cite_note-CoA_architecture-15">[14]</a> In 1861 a proposal was made to construct a road from <a href="/wiki/Blackfriars,_London" title="Blackfriars, London">Blackfriars</a> to the <a href="/wiki/Mansion_House,_London" title="Mansion House, London">Mansion House</a>; this would have resulted in the complete demolition of the College. However, protests from the heralds resulted in only parts of the south east and south west wings being sliced off, requiring extensive remodelling. The College was now a three-sided building with an open courtyard facing the New Queen Victoria Street laid out in 1866.

The warrant, issued on the behalf of the <a href="/wiki/Henry_Fitzalan-Howard,_15th_Duke_of_Norfolk" title="Henry Fitzalan-Howard, 15th Duke of Norfolk">Duke of Norfolk</a>, stated "that it is desirable that the College of Arms should be visited, and an inquiry instituted with the view of ascertaining whether the Rules and Orders for the good government of the said College ... are duly obeyed and fulfilled ... and whether by change of circumstances or any other cause, any new Laws, Ordinances or Regulations are necessary to be made ... for the said College."<a href="#cite_note-Wagner_518-70">[69]</a> The commission had three members: <a href="/wiki/Edward_Fitzalan-Howard,_1st_Baron_Howard_of_Glossop" title="Edward Fitzalan-Howard, 1st Baron Howard of Glossop">Lord Edward Fitzalan-Howard</a> (the Deputy Earl Marshal), <a href="/wiki/Sir_William_Alexander,_3rd_Baronet" title="Sir William Alexander, 3rd Baronet">Sir William Alexander</a> (Queen's Counsel) and <a href="/wiki/Edward_Bellasis_(lawyer)" title="Edward Bellasis (lawyer)">Edward Bellasis</a> (a Sergeant at Law).<a href="#cite_note-Wagner_507-71">[70]</a> <a href="/wiki/Bernard_Burke" title="Bernard Burke">Sir Bernard Burke</a> (of the famous <a href="/wiki/Burke%27s_Peerage" title="Burke's Peerage">Burke's Peerage</a>), at the time Ulster King of Arms, gave the commission the advice that the College should "be made a Government Department, let its Officers receive fixed salaries from Government, and let all its fees be paid into the public exchequer. This arrangement would, I am sure, be self-supporting and would raise at once the character of the Office and the status of the Heralds."<a href="#cite_note-Wagner_512-72">[71]</a> Burke's suggestion for reform was the same arrangement that had already been applied to the Lord Lyon Court in Scotland in 1867,<a href="#cite_note-73">[72]</a> and was to be applied to his own office in 1871.

While the Lord Lyon depended on the Government for its reforms and statutes, the College has always been able to carry out changes from within itself.<a href="#cite_note-Wagner_513-74">[73]</a> The commission also drew attention to the fees, annulments and library of the College, as well as the general modernisation of the chapter as a whole. When the commission made its report in 1870, it recommended many changes, and these were duly made in another warrant dated 27 April 1871.

They were tasked to investigate "the constitution, duties and administration of the Heralds' College"; the main issues being the anomalous position of the College, who are theoretically officials of the Royal Household, but actually derive their income from fees paid by private individuals for their services.<a href="#cite_note-Wagner_535-76">[75]</a> Some of the members of the committee (a minority) wanted (like Burke thirty-four years earlier) to make officers of the College of Arms into "salaried civil servants of the state".<a href="#cite_note-Wagner_535-76">[75]</a> Despite concluding that some form of change was necessary, the inquiry categorically stated that any change "is at the present time and in present circumstances impracticable."<a href="#cite_note-Wagner_536-77">[76]</a> In 1905 the generous endowment from the Crown (as instituted by George IV) was stopped by the <a href="/wiki/Liberal_Government_1905%E2%80%931915" class="mw-redirect" title="Liberal Government 1905–1915">Liberal Government of the day</a> as part of its campaign against the <a href="/wiki/House_of_Lords" title="House of Lords">House of Lords</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Social_structure_of_the_United_Kingdom" class="mw-redirect" title="Social structure of the United Kingdom">class system</a>.<a href="#cite_note-Woodcock_141-64">[63]</a> A second inquiry was established in 1928 under the chairmanship of <a href="/wiki/F._E._Smith,_1st_Earl_of_Birkenhead" title="F.

Firstly they concluded that the fees systems were adequate and no change was necessary in that regard. They justified this by stating that "placing all or even a few of the Officers on a fixed salary outweigh any advantages which might be expected to result from the change."<a href="#cite_note-1928_inquiry-78">[77]</a> Secondly they concluded that from now on the College was to be entirely subordinated to the Home Office, and that a standing inter-departmental committee be established to settle any future conflicts.<a href="#cite_note-1928_inquiry-78">[77]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Present">Present</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=College_of_Arms&action=edit&section=9" title="Edit section: Present">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:London_College_of_Arms_2011_05.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/64/London_College_of_Arms_2011_05.jpg/280px-London_College_of_Arms_2011_05.jpg" decoding="async" width="280" height="349" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/64/London_College_of_Arms_2011_05.jpg/420px-London_College_of_Arms_2011_05.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/64/London_College_of_Arms_2011_05.jpg/560px-London_College_of_Arms_2011_05.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2480" data-file-height="3087" /></a><figcaption>Main entrance to the College of Arms, 2011</figcaption></figure> In 1934, on the 450th anniversary of the incorporation of the College of Arms, an exhibition was held at the College of the heralds' principal treasures and other associated interests.

Meanwhile, on 10 and 11 May 1941 the College building was almost consumed by fire, which had already levelled all the buildings to the east of the College on Queen Victoria Street. The building was given up for lost, when a change in the wind saved it. At the end of the war, all of the records were returned safely to the College.<a href="#cite_note-Wagner_548-82">[81]</a> In 1943 the College was given new responsibilities when the office of Ulster King of Arms was annexed and combined with those of the Norroy King of Arms, creating a new office called Norroy and Ulster King of Arms; Sir Algar Howard thus became the first to hold this office.<a href="#cite_note-83">[82]</a> Although the College building was saved from the war, its walls and roof were left in a perilous state. In 1954 a decision was forced upon heralds, whether to abandon the old building (which would have been profitable financially) or repair it on a scale far beyond the College's resources. Eventually with the help of the <a href="/wiki/Ministry_of_Works_(United_Kingdom)" title="Ministry of Works (United Kingdom)">Ministry of Works</a> and a public subscription, the building was repaired in time for the College's 4th centenary of being in possession of Derby Place.<a href="#cite_note-84">[83]</a> The present gates to the building were added in 1956, and came originally from <a href="/wiki/Goodrich_Court" title="Goodrich Court">Goodrich Court</a> in Herefordshire.

However, the monarch has delegated this power to two authorities: the Lord Lyon, with jurisdiction over Scotland, and the College of Arms, over England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Under the latter's jurisdiction, the right to arms is acquired exclusively either by proving descent in an unbroken male line from someone registered as so entitled or by a new grant from the King of Arms.<a href="#cite_note-Grant_Arms-106">[105]</a> Technically, however, arms can also be gained by a grant from the Crown, by prescription (meaning in use since <a href="/wiki/Time_immemorial" title="Time immemorial">time immemorial</a>), by succeeding to an office, or by marriage. The descent of arms closely follows the <a href="/wiki/Law_of_heraldic_arms" title="Law of heraldic arms">Law of heraldic arms</a>, which is a branch of English law, interpreted by civil lawyers in the Court of Chivalry. Sir Edward Coke in his Commentary upon Littleton (1628) wrote that "gentry and armes is the nature of <a href="/wiki/Gavelkind" title="Gavelkind">gavelkinde</a>, for they descend to all the sonnes." Arms in England therefore descend to all of the male lines, and not just the most senior alone (unlike in Scotland).<a href="#cite_note-Brooke-Little_265-107">[106]</a><a href="#cite_note-Woodcock_33-108">[107]</a> When a new grant of arms is to be made, it is granted through <a href="/wiki/Letters_Patent" class="mw-redirect" title="Letters Patent">Letters Patent</a>. The Crown delegates all of this authority to the King of Arms, however before any letters can be issued they must have a warrant from the Earl Marshal agreeing to the granting of arms. This has been the case since 1673, when the authority of the Earl Marshal, which the heralds had challenged, was established by a royal declaration stating, among other things, that no patents of arms should be granted without his consent. This established the present system whereby royal authority to approve candidates for grants of arms is exercised by the Earl Marshal, and royal authority to grant the arms themselves is exercised by the Kings of Arms. First a petition, called a memorial, is submitted to the Earl Marshal. This memorial will be drawn up for the petitioner by an officer of arms, if it is felt that such a petition would be accepted.<a href="#cite_note-Grant_Arms-106">[105]</a><a href="#cite_note-Brooke-Little_267-109">[108]</a> Currently there are no set criteria for eligibility for a grant of arms; however the College recommends that "awards or honours from the Crown, civil or military commissions, university degrees, professional qualifications, public and charitable services, and eminence or good standing in national or local life" will be taken into account.<a href="#cite_note-Woodcock_142-97">[96]</a><a href="#cite_note-Grant_Arms-106">[105]</a><a href="#cite_note-Woodcock_143-110">[109]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="History_2">History</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=College_of_Arms&action=edit&section=13" title="Edit section: History">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:To_all_and_Singular,_Grant_of_Arms.gif" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3a/To_all_and_Singular%2C_Grant_of_Arms.gif/220px-To_all_and_Singular%2C_Grant_of_Arms.gif" decoding="async" width="220" height="154" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3a/To_all_and_Singular%2C_Grant_of_Arms.gif/330px-To_all_and_Singular%2C_Grant_of_Arms.gif 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3a/To_all_and_Singular%2C_Grant_of_Arms.gif/440px-To_all_and_Singular%2C_Grant_of_Arms.gif 2x" data-file-width="886" data-file-height="620" /></a><figcaption>A section of a modern grant of arms for the Rt.

Now the designing and formation of the arms begin. Although the King of Arms has full discretion over the composition of the arms, he will take into full account the wishes of the applicant. These will include allusions and references to the applicant's life and achievements. The design of any new coat of arms must abide by all the rules of heraldry as well as being entirely original and distinct from all previous arms recorded in the College's archives.

But it can only be inherited by a legitimate male-line descendant of the original grantee of the arms. To establish the right to arms by descent, one must be able to prove that an ancestor had his arms recorded in the registers of the College. If there is a possibility of such an inheritance, one must first contact an officer-in-waiting[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Please_clarify" title="Wikipedia:Please clarify">clarification needed</a>] at the College, who could then advise on the course of action and the cost of such a search. The research into a descent of arms requires details of paternal ancestry, which will involve the examination of genealogical records. First there is a search of the family name in the College's archives, as coats of arms and family name has no connection[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Please_clarify" title="Wikipedia:Please clarify">clarification needed</a>], the officer could prove, through this method, that there is in fact no descent. However, if a connection is found the genealogy would be researched outside of the College's archives to provide definitive evidence of descent from an armigerous individual.<a href="#cite_note-Woodcock_143-110">[109]</a><a href="#cite_note-Descent_Arms-114">[113]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Change_of_names">Change of names</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=College_of_Arms&action=edit&section=15" title="Edit section: Change of names">edit</a>]</div> The College of Arms is also an authorised location for enrolling a <a href="/wiki/Name_change" title="Name change">change of name</a>.

Since the 13th century, records of this distinctive garment were apparent. At first it is likely that the herald wore his master's cast-off coat, but even from the beginning that would have had special significance, signifying that he was in effect his master's representative. Especially when his master was a sovereign prince, the wearing of his coat would haven given the herald a natural diplomatic status.<a href="#cite_note-Wagner_79-132">[131]</a> <a href="/wiki/John_Anstis" title="John Anstis">John Anstis</a> wrote that: "The Wearing the outward Robes of the Prince, hath been esteemed by the Consent of Nations, to be an extraordinary Instance of Favour and Honour, as in the Precedent of <a href="/wiki/Mordecai" title="Mordecai">Mordecai</a>, under a king of Persia."<a href="#cite_note-Wagner_79-132">[131]</a> (a reference to the <a href="/wiki/Book_of_Esther" title="Book of Esther">Book of Esther</a>). The last King of England to have worn a tabard with his arms was probably King Henry VII.

A tabard of a King of Arms is made of velvet and cloth of gold, the tabard of a Herald of satin, and that of a Pursuivant of damask silk. The tabards of all heralds (Ordinary and Extraordinary) are inscribed with the <a href="/wiki/Royal_coat_of_arms_of_the_United_Kingdom" class="mw-redirect" title="Royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom">Sovereign's royal arms</a>, richly embroidered. It was once the custom for pursuivants to wear their tabards with the sleeves at the front and back, in fact in 1576 a pursuivant was fined for presuming to wear his tabard like a herald,<a href="#cite_note-Boutell_(1863)_109-125">[124]</a><a href="#cite_note-Wagner_80-133">[132]</a> but this practice was ended during the reign of James II. Until 1888 all tabards were provided to the heralds by the Crown; however in that year a parsimonious Treasury refused to ask <a href="/wiki/Parliament_of_the_United_Kingdom" title="Parliament of the United Kingdom">Parliament</a> for funds for the purpose. Ever since then heralds either paid for their own tabards or bought the one used by their predecessors. The newest tabard was made in 1963 for the Welsh Herald Extraordinary. A stock of them is now held by the <a href="/wiki/Lord_Chamberlain" title="Lord Chamberlain">Lord Chamberlain</a>, from which a loan "during tenure of office" is made upon each appointment.<a href="#cite_note-Wagner_83-134">[133]</a> They are often sent to <a href="/wiki/Ede_%26_Ravenscroft" title="Ede & Ravenscroft">Ede & Ravenscroft</a> for repair or replacement.

The heralds are also entitled to distinctive <a href="/wiki/Sceptre" title="Sceptre">sceptres</a>, which have been a symbol of their office since the Tudor period.<a href="#cite_note-135">[134]</a> In 1906 new sceptres were made, most likely the initiative of <a href="/wiki/Alfred_Scott-Gatty" title="Alfred Scott-Gatty">Sir Alfred Scott-Gatty</a>. These take the form of short black <a href="/wiki/Baton_(symbol)" class="mw-redirect" title="Baton (symbol)">batons</a> with gilded ends, each with a representation of the badges of the different offices of the heralds. In 1953 these were replaced by white staves, with gilded metal handles and at its head a blue dove in a golden coronet or a "martinet".<a href="#cite_note-136">[135]</a> These blue martinets are derived from the arms of the College.<a href="#cite_note-137">[136]</a> Another of the heralds' insignia of office is the <a href="/wiki/Livery_collar" title="Livery collar">Collar of SS</a>, which they wear over their uniforms.<a href="#cite_note-Robson_35-103">[102]</a> During inclement weather, a large black cape is worn. At state funerals, they would wear a wide sash of black silk sarsenet (a thin tissue of fine silk) over their tabards. (In ancient times, they would have worn long black hooded cloaks under their tabards.) The three Kings of Arms have also been entitled to wear a <a href="/wiki/Crown_(headgear)" class="mw-redirect" title="Crown (headgear)">crown</a> since the 13th century. However, it was not until much later that the specific design of the crown was regulated. The silver-gilt crown is composed of sixteen acanthus leaves alternating in height, inscribed with a line from <a href="/wiki/Psalm_51" title="Psalm 51">Psalm 51</a> in Latin: Miserere mei Deus secundum magnam misericordiam tuam (<a href="/wiki/King_James_Version" title="King James Version">KJV</a>: Have mercy upon me O God according to thy lovingkindness).<a href="#cite_note-Boutell_(1863)_109-125">[124]</a><a href="#cite_note-Wagner_90-138">[137]</a> Within the crown is a cap of crimson velvet, lined with <a href="/wiki/Stoat" title="Stoat">ermine</a>, having at the top a large tuft of tassels, wrought in gold. In medieval times the kings of arms were required to wear their crowns and attend to the Sovereign on four high feasts of the year: Christmas, Easter, <a href="/wiki/Whitsuntide" class="mw-redirect" title="Whitsuntide">Whitsuntide</a> and <a href="/wiki/All_Saint%27s_Day" class="mw-redirect" title="All Saint's Day">All Saint's Day</a>. Today, the crown is reserved for the most solemn of occasions. The last time these crowns were worn was at the <a href="/wiki/Coronation_of_Charles_III_and_Camilla" title="Coronation of Charles III and Camilla">coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla</a> in 2023.<a href="#cite_note-Robson_35-103">[102]</a> At other times, kings of arms wear a black <a href="/wiki/Bicorne" title="Bicorne">bicorne</a> trimmed with white ostrich feathers when performing duties outdoors, or a black velvet cap, depending on circumstances of occasion. The New Zealand Herald of Arms Extraordinary is a special case when it comes to uniform. Although they do wear the tabard, they only do so when in the UK performing duties. When in New Zealand, they simply wear <a href="/wiki/Morning_dress" title="Morning dress">morning dress</a> as official uniform, together with their chains and baton. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Qualifications">Qualifications</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=College_of_Arms&action=edit&section=25" title="Edit section: Qualifications">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Crown_of_a_British_King_of_Arms.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/06/Crown_of_a_British_King_of_Arms.svg/170px-Crown_of_a_British_King_of_Arms.svg.png" decoding="async" width="170" height="125" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/06/Crown_of_a_British_King_of_Arms.svg/255px-Crown_of_a_British_King_of_Arms.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/06/Crown_of_a_British_King_of_Arms.svg/340px-Crown_of_a_British_King_of_Arms.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="244" data-file-height="179" /></a><figcaption>Heraldic representation of a King of Arms's crown</figcaption></figure> There are no formal qualifications for a herald, but certain specialist knowledge and discipline are required.
