'''Richmond Herald of Arms in Ordinary''' is an Officer of Arms officer of arms of the College of Arms. From 1421 to 1485 Richmond was a herald to John, Duke of Bedford, George, Duke of Clarence, and Henry, Earl of Richmond, all of whom held the Honor (estate) of Richmond. However, on the accession of Henry VII in 1485, Richmond became a King of Arms king of arms and remained so until 1510, when the office became that of a herald in ordinary of the Crown. The badge of office is a red rose of Lancaster dimidiating the white rose en soleil of York, ensigned by the royal crown. Although this device has all the characteristics of a Tudor dynasty Tudor invention, it is likely to be of fairly recent derivation.
The current Richmond Herald of Arms in Ordinary is Patric Laurence Dickinson, Royal Victorian Order LVO, MA ( University of Oxford Oxford).
