This 'logo' which appears on the website is based on the seal of the Abbot of Bangor which dates (we believe) from the period when the Abbey was an Augustinian settlement and when the Augustinian movement was suffering a widespread decline.  Indeed by 1469 the Abbey had fallen into a ruinous state.

A document which throws light on the troubled state of the country at this time is the 'Down Petition,' written in English and addressed to an English king, which was found in the archives of Westminster Abbey.  The king's name is not stated, nor is the petition dated, but it was probably written about 1498.  It speaks in the name of  "all the faithful and true liege people of the earldom of Ulster."   The petitioners deplore "the importable wars upon your said liege people daily continued, both by sea and land, with Bretons and with Scots of the Outer Isles which both with Irishmen enemies of the land confedered"  and ask for aid to defend their lands.  The chief hope of the English colony lies in "your faithful servant and true liege man, Janico Savage, your seneschal of Ulster . . .".  The names of the petitioners are not given, and several of the seals attached have disappeared, but the titles of those whose seals were affixed to the petition have been preserved.

The seal of the Abbot of Bangor is one of those which survived, and depicts an elaborate church, with two ecclesiastical figures kneeling.  It is possible that this is a symbolical representation of the Abbey as it existed at the end of the 15th century.
