Entrance to Chancellor's Court: The Divinity School

The western projection of the Divinity School houses Convocation and Chancellor's Court and dates from 1634-7. This splendid doorway is the entrance to Chancellor's Court, circa 1669 with rusticated surround, Doric pilasters, segmental pediment with garlands.

 

The 'Wren Door' was also installed in 1669.

 

I've been trying to find out what the coat of arms is, but so far all that I've discovered is that Sir Thomas Bodley's crest was Argent five martlets saltireways sable and a chief azure with three crowns which is the top left and lower right but I don't know the other crest.
