The Ass's Head with a Coronet
This is the crest of the Mainwaring family. One of the Mainwarings of Peover was in the crusades. His horse was shot so he mounted a donkey or ass. As a consequence the ass's head became part of the armorial bearings and the motto "Forward if I can" was adopted. - see http://www.thornber.net/cheshire/htmlfiles/swettenham.html
