Summary[edit]

Description
English: Sign for the Rose and Portcullus A portcullis is the framed metal gate at the entrance to a castle which could be lowered quickly on chains as a defence. 'Portcullis' literally means 'sliding door or gate'. Its distinctive shape, and its symbolic representation of stout defence made it a popular heraldic symbol. It refers heraldically to the Dukes of Beaufort, Henry VII, Henry VIII, and City of Westminster etc. At Butleigh the Tudor rose has been added to the sign.
