I'm taking the Orion for its MOT just round the corner from there soon, so I'll pop round then and have a look.
EDIT: just realised the one you show is the eastern one, as it has the crest on top; the western one may be the one with the legend about his head striking a mounting stone or some such.
EDIT AGAIN: And here's the western one:

Not only is he famous for having a body-part named after him, but he also coined one of the most famous sayings in the world - A horse, A horse. my Kingdom for a horse
CATESBY:
Rescue, my Lord of Norfolk, rescue, rescue!
The king enacts more wonders than a man,
Daring an opposite to every danger:
His horse is slain, and all on foot he fights,
Seeking for Richmond in the throat of death.
Rescue, fair lord, or else the day is lost!
KING RICHARD III:
A horse! a horse! my kingdom for a horse!
CATESBY:
Withdraw, my lord; I'll help you to a horse.
