The Impaled Arms of Bernard Juby

     with those of his wife, Pamela Yvonne née Lines. 

As an armorial heiress both her family motto and crest are shown above her family arms.

The Arms (the drawing of which was commissioned from Mr. Dennis Ivall) shows the armorial bearings of Bernard Juby impaled with those of his wife, Pamela Lines. The Juby Arms (which, as Head of the branch, Bernard shows as un-differenced) are on the left of the shield. They are a variation of the ancient de Huby family Arms and for more details about this please refer to the Juby Family History. 

The Lines' family Arms were derived from the basic design of the de Huby's. Since Mr Lines was originally a tailor and was in the Royal Air Force the blue and white signify both clouds in the sky as well as a bolt of white cloth. The wavy yellow lines are an allusion to the River Welland as Mr. Lines worked for a long time in Market Harborough. The elements of three cinquefoils, an heraldic representation (in this case) of flax and for Mr. Lines, his wife and daughter. These three flowers also form part of the Crest (although the colours are reversed). They are threaded on a cotton suspended through two bodkins  crossed in front of a bull's horn. Supplying leather from hides was also part his business. The Motto loosely translates as "You can tell a man from his cloth" the whole thing having elements of canting Arms (where the surname is alluded to) - the flax plant is from the botanical family of Linacae. Further, to signify that the arms shown are those of an armigerous married lady she carries the added brisure of a small shield (in this case, blue) at the top of the bend.

The illustration also shows the insigniae of the ancient Military and Hospitaller Order of Saint Lazarus of Jerusalem. This is an ecumenical Christian Order of great antiquity - dating from the Crusades. At the time of the illustration both Bernard and Pamela held the rank of Commander. Bernard has since been promoted to that of Chevalier (Knight) of Justice. The Order is open to both men and women, is registered as a Charity and, since leprosy is essentially curable today, now concentrates on raising funds for alleviating suffering, particularly from skin cancers. For more information on the Order please contact Bernard, who is Registrar of the Grand Bailiwick of England.
