The Coat Of Arms

Behind the meaning of this Coat Of Arms digs into the Varney family name, elegant and traditional heraldic design that reflects the family’s historic character and origins.

The shield bears azure, representing loyalty as Sir Ralph Varney displayed as an early adviser to Queen queen Elizabeth I as well as Sir Edmund Verney, standard bearer to King Charles I., who fell at the battle of Edgehill in 1642.

With a silver bend charged with three mullets, symbolizing guidance, honour, and steadfast purpose. In the chief rests an alder leaf, a refined tribute to the ancestral meaning of the Varney name.

Above the shield appears the crest, featuring a wolf seated upright, a symbol of vigilance and loyalty, holding an alder branch that unites the crest with the shield’s central theme. Together, the arms and crest form a dignified and harmonious emblem of heritage, resilience, and noble identity.
