The crest and name of the lodge are believed to be that of one of the family names of the Marquis of Salisbury of Hatfield House although there is a similarity to the arms depicted on the Cecil Lodge banner, there are some slight differences. The old banner is framed and hung on a wall. Although both bear the same coat of arms, the two banners are very dissimilar. Both banners contain the Latin motto “Sero Sed Serio” meaning “Late but in earnest” which was the motto of Robert Cecil, 1st Earl of Salisbury. The current banner, was presented by W.Bros W.H.G Jefferey and W.T.Whinnett.
