Summary

Description
English: Heraldic achievement sculpted in bronze of John Yarde-Buller, 2nd Baron Churston (1846–1910), detail from 1901 Yarde-Buller memorial monument in Churston Ferrers Church, Devon. The shield shows the arms of Buller (Sable, on a cross argent quarter pierced of the field four eagles displayed of the first) quartering Yarde of Churston (Argent, a chevron gules between three water bougets sable) with a baronet's inescutcheon of the Red Hand of Ulster (the 2nd Baron was also the 4th Baronet). Above is a coronet of a baron, above which is the crest of Buller: A Saracen's head and shoulders couped affrontée proper. If this is blazoned alternatively as A Moor's head it possibly becomes a canting crest referring to the Buller's early seat of Morval in Cornwall. Supporters: Dexter: An ostrich proper in the beak a horse-shoe or, probably the crest of the ancient Ferrers family of Churston-Ferrers (ancestors of Yarde and hence of Buller), whose arms were: Argent, on a bend sable three horse-shoes or, the horse-shoe being a canting reference to the Latin words faber ferrarius, iron-worker, blacksmith, hence farrier. A sculpted figure of a bird's head holding in its beak a horseshoe appears on the "Yard Capital", circa 1500 (Tregaskes, Jean, Churston Story 1088-1998, 2nd edition, 1998, p.14 (church guidebook)), of the south-easternmost column of the nave of Churston-Ferrers Church. Sinister: An eagle sable. Latin motto of Buller below: Aquila Non Capit Muscas ("The eagle does not catch flies"). (Heraldry per: Montague-Smith, P.W. (ed.), Debrett's Peerage, Baronetage, Knightage and Companionage, Kelly's Directories Ltd, Kingston-upon-Thames, 1968, p.253)
