A Gilt Brass Coat of Arms of Bradford, probably early 20th century, mounted on a pine cruciform frame with hook for suspension, 27.5cm high The coat of arms is surmounted by the head of a boar. In the 14th century it was said that a boar haunted Cliffe Wood, and a reward was offered up to anyone who might slay the animal. John Northrop Manningham saw the beast drinking from a well, took aim with his bow and arrow, and killed it. To prove the feat, he cut out the animal`s tongue, and went off to claim a reward. However, another man saw the dead boar and decided to try to profit from the kill himself - and proceeded to court to claim the prize, and arrived before Manningham. He was unable to explain as to why the tongue of the boar was missing. Finally John Manningham turned up and claimed the prize - and on condition that he and his heirs thereafter were to blow three blasts on a horn every St Martin`s Day.
