About Tudor Coat of Arms : Architectural stone elements denote Tudor architecture (and English architecture). Some of the most noted and interesting of these stone elements for the exterior of a home are coat of arms sculptures. These stone structures can be quite complex with the standard parts being shield (usually at center) with motifs and colors depicting aspects of the person for which the coat of arms stand), supporters that act as holders of the shield (many times these are lions or horses), the crest which tops the shield and can take many forms of which the most popular seems to be a knight, and the banner which many times provides the person's credo or motto. A coat of arms artistic carving strengthens one of Tudor architecture's greatest qualities: its artistic side. Carvings can be found on many parts of a Tudor structure - in wood, terra-cotta, and stone. The coat of arms terra-cotta and stone carvings are some of the most noted carvings on a structure as they are a personal emblem of the original owner. The coat of arms of the owner were many times adopted by the family as being a emblem for the the family as a whole. Hence today, we have the notion a family coat of arms (or crest as some people refer to them). True coats of arms are for individuals and are registered by an acknowledged group that keeps the records of these important emblems. ` Today, that group in England is called the English College of Arms. Royal coat of arms display was regulated during Tudor times (starting with henry VIII) and could only be placed on a structure that was owned by the king, his family, or where the king had formally visited.
