Anyone Recognise This Badge?

[Bayleaf]

Can anyone recognise this please? It's possibly but not necessarily linked with Wesley College (predecessor of King Ted's). It is among the possessions of Capt. Vivian Sumner Simpson, KIA in France in WW1 and former pupil.

Hi,

I don't recognize the badge and can't find a version of it, but the emblems would suggest that it is from the Wesleyan College as the lower left quadrant is the cross and scallops of the Wesley coat of arms: '>

The upper right quadrant appears to be the University of London coat of arms:

Previously called the Wesleyan Proprietary Grammar School, it was renamed and I assume had this coat of arms created, when it received Royal Warrant, constituting the Sheffield Wesley College a college of the University of London.

I hope that helps a bit?

Thanks chrubble. I was going to say 'and welcome to the Forum' but I see you've been a member for quite a while! An excellent and very useful first posting, thanks again.

Haha! Yes... I've been a silent observer for way too long

On this web site there looks as though there should be an image but doesn't display but there is a description of the coat of arms
