Comments:
The badge on the ribbon device is derived from a wax seal on the documents of surrender for Chertsey Abbey in 1538 as part of Henry VIII's Dissolution of the monasteries. The Latin translates as 'Chertsey seal of Saint Peter'. 'Ceretizaecie' is the Latin spelling of the original Saxon name for Chertsey.
