The arms of Corser of Whitchurch

* No tincture is given for the Pegasus but we must assume that it is "Proper" as in Greek mythology, the proper and most traditional colouring for Pegasus is a pure white stallion. As a divine creature associated with the heavens, Zeus, and the goddess Eos (dawn), he is typically depicted as a majestic white horse with large, feathered wings.

The surname Corser is of medieval English and Scottish origin, primarily acting as an occupational name for a horse dealer, broker, or dealer in horses. It derives from the Middle English term "corser" (1200–1500), which itself stems from the Old French corsier or coursier, meaning a steed or runner.
