Heraldry

In Metcalfe's book of Knights banneret, Knights of the bath, and Knights bachelor, made between the fourth year of King Henry VI and the restoration of King Charles II are two differing entries for Richard Wentworth's heraldic achievements, for the two times he was knighted. The first time, for his 1509 knighting, his coat of arms are described as follows:[1]: 42 

To that, the crest is described as a Or (golden) griffin in the passant position (depicted as walking with the right forepaw raised from the ground). When knighted for the second time, his coat of arms has become more detailed:[1]: 46 

The crest has undergone major changes, as it is now an ewer, pitcher or jug encircled by an Argent (golden) wreath.
