The Worshipful Company of Fishmongers was formed in 1537
and is the fourth in order of precedence. The arms have, on the dexter side a
Merman armed and holding in his right hand a Falchion and with his left
sustaining the Helm and Timbre, and on the sinister side a Mermaid holding in
her left hand a Mirror and supporting the Arms with her right hand, all proper.
The inclusion of the mythical creatures seem to be right for fishmongers!
