History: This specific armorial design was officially granted in 1868 to the prominent industrialist Henry James Bath, a partner in the major copper smelting and ore trading firm Henry Bath & Son based in Swansea. He commissioned the grant to formalize his family's lineage and standing, extending its usage rights to all descendants of his father. The same historic motto was later famously adopted by Wells College in Aurora, New York.
