Diocese of Southwell and Nottingham Coat of Arms Sticker - Design Description

This sticker showcases the distinctive coat of arms of the Diocese of Southwell and Nottingham, a heraldic emblem rich in symbolism and historical significance. The design is a striking visual representation of the diocese's heritage and connection to the region.

Key Design Elements and Their Meanings

The central field of the arms is a stark black (Sable) base, upon which three realistically depicted fountains (fountains proper) are placed. These symbolize the historic wells of Southwell, particularly the Holy Well, Our Lady’s Well, and the Lord's Well, which held great significance for the area.

A gold (Or) chief, or upper section, provides a contrasting background for the prominent elements. A vertical blue band (pale azure) creates a focal point, featuring a golden (Or) depiction of the Virgin Mary seated and holding the Infant Christ. This element directly honors the dedication of Southwell Minster to the Blessed Virgin Mary.

To the right of the central blue band (dexter side) is a natural stag (stag lodged proper), representing the legendary Sherwood Forest and its location within the diocese.

Finally, to the left (sinister side) are two green staves (staves raguly crossed Vert) with ragged ends, crossed, symbolizing the crossed croziers of the diocesan bishops and representing their pastoral authority.

This intricate design, granted in 1914, artfully combines elements of faith, history, and geography, creating a compelling visual testament to the Diocese of Southwell and Nottingham.

Glossy kiss-cut vinyl stickers made for smooth, indoor surfaces — laptops, journals, mirrors, and other finished items. Crisp edges, vivid color, strong hold, and not waterproof.

What “kiss-cut” means: the blade cuts the vinyl layer into the exact shape while leaving the backing liner whole, so pieces separate cleanly and lift off the sheet without tearing. It’s the neatest way to produce shaped stickers and multi-piece sheets.

  • Material: reliable vinyl face with a permanent acrylic adhesive formulated for smooth, non-porous surfaces.
  • Finish: glossy surface that enhances contrast and depth without feeling overly reflective.
  • Printing: eco-solvent inks provide dense color and crisp detail for fine lines and gradients.
  • Use case: intended for indoor environments only — not waterproof. Not recommended for continuous exposure to moisture or dishwashing.
  • Application friendly: easy-peel backing and a liner that releases cleanly to help reduce bubbles and misfeeds during placement.

These stickers perform best on smooth, dust-free surfaces — think laptop lids, sealed notebooks, glass, mirrors, finished shelving and lockers. They’ll stick well where the surface is flat and clean; avoid rough wood, silicone, fabric, and heavily textured paint.

  1. Clean: remove dust and oils with a lint-free cloth. For stubborn grime, use a mild soap and water rinse; let the area dry completely.
  2. Align: peel a corner, position carefully, then press the center down first.
  3. Smooth: work outward from the center with a soft card or a thumb to push air out and ensure the edges set down firmly.

Tip: give the adhesive 24 hours to fully settle before heavy handling. These are not designed for outdoor or wet conditions.

  • Gently dust with a soft, dry cloth, moving from the center outward to avoid scratching the gloss.
  • For light marks, a barely damp microfiber will lift residue — blot, don’t scrub, and dry right away.
  • Avoid bleach, solvents, abrasive pads, and steam; moisture or harsh chemicals can lift edges and fade inks.

Reminder: these stickers are not waterproof. Keep them away from sinks, outdoor exposure, and dishwasher cycles to maintain adhesion and finish.

Sizes are measured across the sticker’s longest side. For example, a 3″ sticker is 3 inches across its largest dimension (height or width, depending on the shape).

The kiss-cut follows the sticker’s outline for a tidy border; complex shapes can show small variances, but the advertised measurement refers to the maximum edge-to-edge length.
