The Coats of Arms The Coats of Arms of the Diocese of Nova Scotia and its daughter dioceses, as well as the Diocese of London (under whose jurisdiction St. Paul's fell from 1749 to 1787) and the Anglican Church of Canada, decorate the front of the gallery. On the outer walls of the gallery hang several large, diamond-shaped Hatchments which are paintings of family arms ordinarily kept within the home of the bearer, but hung outside the door at the time of his death. The Flags are reminders of St. Paul's history and royal foundation, as well as Halifax's long association with the military. The Union Jack without the cross of St. Patrick is the flag which would have flown in Halifax in the earliest days of St. Paul's and is also known as the Loyalists' flag in memory of the refugees from the American Revolutionary War. |
