These armorial bearings as well as those shown in figure 1 identify the Wrights of Essex county, England. The distinguishing characteristic found in these arms are the three golden leopards’ faces as well as the design of the crest which features a green dragon’s head rising out of a golden ducal coronet (crown). These arms, granted in 1509 to Wright of Dagenham,** are also among the oldest known. This Wright line became extinct in 1681. This coat of arms is also identified with Wright of Cranham Hall in Essex. The Cranham Hall baronetcy became extinct in 1788. Sir Edmund Wright, Lord Mayor of London, was also granted these or similar arms in 1641.
