These are in continuation of those on the outside wall in Dean's Yard and in the portico.
Inset in the Flint-work of the Dean's Yard front are the Arms of the Provinces and Sees of England; they are carved on bondstones which bind the flint facing to the wall-core behind. Over the porch on the dexter side, or the left facing it, are those of Canterbury under a Mitre; on the sinister, those of York, also under a Mitre. On a bondstone up in the corner near the Arms of York is carved the famous ivory and gold Horn of Ulphus, treasured in the Minster. It was given as a pledge
by the Danish King of Northumbria with the deed of his gift of the land on which the earliest church was built. The letters of his name 
are in the Anglo-Danish script of the 11th century. As Canterbury has no such relic as Ulphus' Horn to record the gift by King Aethelbert of the land on which the Cathedral stands, there is carved on a corresponding bondstone a
Cross of the type on the Anglo-Saxon coins with the letters 
in the script of the age.
The scripts were given by Professor Tolkien of Oxford
Continuing on the dexter, or east, side, on the side of the porch, are the Arms of London and Winchester. On the main wall

These Coats of Arms are good heraldry in the sense that the charges or symbols are simple and can be easily read at a distance. Heraldry has been called the "Art of differentiation," as it was essentially in origin. There are some which are not simple, but are subjects more appropriate to pictures or sculpture of a larger scale; and they are so delicate that they would not long survive outside in the London climate. So they have been carved on stones let into the vaulted ceiling of the porch. As you face inwards they are:
| Salisbury | Chichester | |
| Sodor | and | Man |
Opposite to these are:
| Lincoln | Oxford |
The charges of Sodor and Man have been separated, the Virgin Mary from the old pagan symbol of the Triskeles, which is found on the Greek coins of Melos of the 4th century B.C. and on those of Sicily to which King Alexander III of Scotland and Man claimed title.
