English: Arms of Thomas Wall
Arms:Wriothesley's Roll of Grants (Soc. Antiq. MS. 443, no. 159) and other MSS. show Azure, a chevron ermine between 3 eagles argent & on a chief embattled or 3 roundels sable, as granted to Thomas Wall, Norroy, temp. Hen. VIII. But his son's armorial, Soc. Antiq. MS. 679, fo. ccxxii ('Wall's Book of Arms') and also Lant's Roll, omit the eagles and it is to be observed that in 679, which was compiled in 1530, several words have been scrawled over and totally obliterated where the eagles might have been mentioned. It therefore looks as though Wriothesley granted Norroy the version with the eagles and that the son, on becoming Garter, discarded the eagles back-dating the change to include his father. It is possible that Garter also simplified the crest; Soc. Antiq. MS. 679, fo. 14, gives for Norroy: On a torse or & sable an eagle's head per pale argent & azure between 2 wings each charged with 3 gouttes, all counterchanged; but the General Armory (1878) gives Garter's crest as: An eagle's head couped argent.
