Martlets Hospice
Ever wondered what the bird in Martlets’ logo represents? A martlet is a mythical heraldic bird which is thought to represent the swift or house martin. Martlets have been traditionally associated with Sussex for centuries and appear on the Sussex county crest. They are typically shown in perpetual flight with open wings and no feet, never stopping to sleep. As part of our logo, the bird represents Martlets’ ethos of round-the-clock care – we are always ready to respond to the needs of our community.
