Turnstile

Turnstile

Turnstile, sometimes called turnpike: the charge has been in one case blazoned a reel, but this is probably an error. Three forms occur, as shewn by the figures in the margin.

Argent, three turnpikes[elsewhere blazoned turnstiles or reels] sable--WOOLSTON. White.

A turnpike or, on a wreath argent and gules--Crest of SKIPWORTH, Linc. (Bart. 1622). Fig. 3.

Possibly the cross-gate mentioned in the following coat of arms may be of the same character.

Argent, a saltire between a cross-gate in chief and another in base and a crescent in each flank gules--HEGENS, Scotland.
