The
design
reflects the
armiger’s
Cornish
ancestry,
where
generations of
the Stephens
family are
recorded in
long
association
with the land
and its
ordered
society.
Having borne
arms in armed
conflict, the
armiger bears
these arms in
recognition of
that service
and in keeping
with the
martial
tradition by
which those
who have
defended their
nation assume
heraldic
bearings as
lasting marks
of duty and
honour. The
arms thus
signify the
preservation
of family
memory and the
faithful
discharge of
responsibility
from one
generation to
the next.
Azure denotes
loyalty and
steadfast
resolve. The
chevron Or
signifies
protection and
the building
of enduring
foundations.
The eagle
displayed
Argent, armed
and beaked Or,
represents
vigilance,
strength, and
principled
aspiration.
The crest, an
armored dexter
arm grasping a
sword
encircled by a
wreath of
laurel,
acknowledges
honourable
service and
the exercise
of disciplined
leadership.
The motto,
"Per Aspera Ad
Astra",
translated to
“Through
hardships to
the stars”
affirms
perseverance
through
adversity and
the pursuit of
honourable
achievement.
