Illustration of a silver heater-shaped shield bearing three naturally-coloured blackbirds. These face left, as if about to take flight. Two blackbirds are above the third to make a triangle. The shield has a red horizontal band with a golden ducal coronet on the left and right and an open book in the middle. The book has blank white pages, a red cover and gilded page edges. Below the shield is a parchment (curved like a smile, curled at each end, and centred) with an uppercase "Lauda Finem" in an old-fashioned serif font. The front of the parchment is yellow and the back red.
Photograph of a Gothic Revival building in grey slate, with walls of light brown and a pitched roof bearing algae. It has a wide chimney on each side, five large multi-segment windows on each storey on each section. The left and right sections have two and three storeys respectively, separated by a central protrusion with five storeys. The central section has two-storey bays window flanking an arched, elevated wooden door, above an outdoor double staircase with a simpler wooden door in the front. Above each bay window is a smaller window. Above these is a narrower section with three large multi-segment windows, above which is a yet narrower section forming a square tower and the highest storey. The tower is crenellated with one large multi-segment window, a flagpole with no flag in the centre, and a crenellated stone structure projecting from the right corner like a crow's nest, which could be used as a lookout. The building is fronted by a lawn between an embankment and a planted area. Steps down from the central part lead to a war memorial: a bronze statue of a First World War uniformed British soldier looking back and pointing up towards the left, atop a white stone plinth with a relief of Nottingham's heraldic achievement, an inscription on a plaque and a relief of the lozenge of Dame Agnes Mellers. The war memorial has stone steps on all four sides separating an outer circle of shrubbery. Below is a paved stone floor.
