Surmounting the cypher is a passant lion crest. The legend KENDAL arcs along the upper periphery in raised Roman capitals. |

A pennant flies from the mainmast. The patriotic legend THE WOODEN WALLS OF OLD ENGLAND encircles the design along the toothed inner border, reading from lower left around the upper periphery to lower right. |
