HONITON (Devonshire). Has not any armorial bearings. The seal represents on the dexter side a branch of honeysuckle below a human figure, affrontee erased at the waist, holding its dexter hand towards a female three-quarter length figure in profile vested. In chief is a dexter hand fesseways, couped at the wrist, the third and fourth fingers doubled down. The legend is " The Common Seal of the Borough of Honiton, Devon, 1846."

An interesting article by J. Gale Pedrick in relation to the charges upon the seal appears in the Genealogical Magazine, vol. ii. pp. 18-22.
