The crest consists of a cubit arm, erect, cuffed, with a mullet in hand (Fairburn, 186, P.227). Engraved on the ring in capitals is SR.WIL.HANSARD. William Hansard of Biscathorpe was a benefactor of Caistor Grammar School in Lincolnshire. He died in 1631. The hawking ring would have been attached to the hawk's jesses.
