This one is a white lion rampant and is normally a heraldic reference to Edward VI, The Duke of March or the Duke of Norfolk.
It is particularly common in eastern England. In nature the white lion is a mutation, but in heraldry may signify strength and purity.
This one stands inside a crown and holds the flag of St George.
