Crest: A serpent nowed proper (or vert).  Supporters: On either side, a buck (or stag) wreathed (or gorged) about the neck with a chaplet (or garland) of roses proper—but see note! Motto: ''Cavendo tutus'', Safe through caution. NOTE: The stags' head are sometimes given as attired Or; for example, [https://web.archive.org/web/20090207012457/http://www.derbyshiremason.org/pglroot/banner-cavendish-arms.htm].  The garlands should be roses alternately argent and azure (see the preceding, [https://web.archive.org/web/20090206170623/http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,850493-1,00.html], and the next).
