BACUP (Lancashire). Azure, on a fesse between two bales of cotton in chief or, and a block of stone with Lewis attached in base proper, a fleece sable between two bees volant of the third, in the centre chief point a squirrel sejant of the second. Crest — On a wreath of the colours, in front of a bale of cotton or, a stag gorged with a collar vair, and resting the dexter forefoot on a trefoil slipped gold. Motto — " Honor et industria."

[Granted 13th March 1883 by Sir Albert William Woods, Garter Principal King of Arms ; Walter Aston Blount, Clarenceux King of Arms ; and George E. Cokayne, Norroy King of Arms.]

[The above is the official blazon, which omits the tincture of the stag. Burke gives it " proper " in the " Armory," which the Editor fancies is correct.]
