- Attributed inherited paternal arms: Quarterly: 1st and 4th, Barry of ten Argent and Azure, over all six escutcheons Sable, three, two and one, each charged with a lion rampant Argent; 2nd and 3rd, Argent, on a pale Sable a conger's head erased and erect Or, charged with an ermine spot. The Salisbury Cecil component is associated with a crescent Gules for cadency in the relevant family tradition.
- Plain-English description
- Lord Sackville Arthur Cecil was entitled to the arms of his paternal Salisbury house, but no individual grant, matriculation or surviving personal depiction establishing a separate difference has been found. His record should therefore use the inherited family achievement only as an attributed armorial association.
