Shropshire's Punning Heraldry - Butler

Butler

The Reverend Samuel Butler D.D., Shrewsbury, afterwards Bishop of Lichfield. Azure, a chevron between three covered cups Or, quartered with Ermine, on a chief indented Sable three escallop shells Argent.

Motto: Nemo Nisi Christus

On a carriage 1827. Seal (in the possession of Mr George Morris, author of the MS Shropshire Families) and stained glass in House at Free School.

Here the principal coat seems to be at odds with other contemporary records which have Quarterly, first and fourth, Azure, a bend between three covered cups Or: second and third, Ermine, on a chief indented Sable three escallops Argent.
