The mill-rind, which takes its name from the iron of a mill-stone—fer de moline—must be set with the crosses.

Also they call the mill-rind itself a “cross moline” keeping the word mill-rind for a charge having the same origin but of somewhat differing form.

Since this charge became common in Tudor armory it is perhaps better that the original mill-rind should be called for distinction a mill-rind cross.

Willoughby bore “Gules a mill-rind cross silver.”
