The fleur-de-lys, symbolises Our Lady, the Patroness of East Anglia under the title of Our Lady of Walsingham, and three of them denoting each of the counties forming the Diocese: Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire.
The achievement is completed with the heraldic insignia of a prelate of the rank of bishop.
