Humankind has a long history of life with Lions. Since ancient times Lion deities have been revered in mythology and legend. They have also been feared as monsters and bizarre hybrid creatures usually symbolising humanity's greatest or worst attributes.To commemorate the Bi-Centenary Mill Hill, applied for the grant of a crest. After a Royal Licence had been signed by HM The Queen, a Patent was issued to confer upon the school the privilege of bearing with its shield a crest and a badge.
The Patent described these thus:
Within a Coronet Or a Grassy Mount Vert sejant erect thereon a Lion Gules winged paly Or and Azure grasping with both forepaws a Millrind Or.
This translates: a red Lion with wings of gold and blue sitting on a grassy hill and grasping with both paws a gold millrind (the metal centre piece of a millstone). The Lion (a symbol of England) is winged because he is carrying the values of Mill Hill School far and wide.
Our tour mascot goes by the name Fearless. Little is known about Fearless. Some say that throughout the years he has secretly mentored cricketing legends throughout the world; other say that he is just a low-cost cuddly toy that Mr Hutchinson found.
What have you heard about Fearless our tour mascot?
