Summary[edit]

Description
English: Carved Stonework - Victoria Tower, Huddersfield, Yorkshire, crowned initials "VR" (Victoria Regina), marking Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria in 1897 with dates "1897" and "1837", date of her ascension. With a white rose of York. Two coats of arms:
  • Left: Or, on a chevron between three rams passant sable as many towers argent (arms of the Borough Of Huddersfield). Latin motto: Juvat Impigros Deus ("God helps the diligent / "God Helps the industrious"). The arms were granted by the College of Arms by letters patent dated October 12, 1868, to the Mayor, Aldermen, and Burgesses of the Borough of Huddersfield. The borough was abolished in 1974 under the provisions of the Local Government Act 1972 when control was ceded to Kirklees Metropolitan Council and West Yorkshire Metropolitan County Council. The design was based on the arms of the family of Ramsden of Byrom, owners of the manors of Almondbury and Huddersfield.
  • Right: Argent, on a chevron between three fleurs-de-lis sable as many ram's heads couped at the neck of the first, with a canton of a baronet. (Ramsden of Byram, Yorkshire) (Montague-Smith, P.W. (ed.), Debrett's Peerage, Baronetage, Knightage and Companionage, Kelly's Directories Ltd, Kingston-upon-Thames, 1968, p.671, Ramsden baronets "of Byram, Yorkshire" (created 1689)); ram's heads here shown "erased" not "couped"; note: the family of Ramsden of Carlton Hall in Nottinghamshire, descended from the 2nd Baronet, used the same arms but with ram's heads erased (Burke's Genealogical and Heraldic History of the Landed Gentry, 15th Edition, ed. Pirie-Gordon, H., London, 1937, pp.1888-9). Canting arms of w:Sir John William Ramsden, 5th Baronet (1831–1914). Per wikipedia: The Ramsden baronetcy, later Pennington, later Pennington-Ramsden Baronetcy, of Byram in the County of York, was created in the Baronetage of England on 30 November 1689 for John Ramsden in honour of the services he had given during the Glorious Revolution. The manor of Huddersfield had been owned by the Ramsden family since 1599, and the baronets retained this manor until 1920, when it was sold to the Corporation of the County Borough of Huddersfield, along with the substantial Ramsden Estate
