St. William of York* The attributed arms of St. Wilfrid as used in the original shield hung in St. John's Church (lowest shield) and also as depicted in the Reredos from St.John's are actually the attributed arms for St. William of York (see our heraldry page) Mr John Hawkins has very kindly constructed and donated to the church the shield shown above for St. Wilfrid with the correct representation of three gold estoiles on a blue background.
