Baronial Awards 

The Barony currently has one armigerous service award:
 
The Order of the Lion’s Paw of Kenmare
 
The Order of the Lion’s Paw of Kenmare (more generally called the Kenmare) is an armigerous service award, named for Kendra Kenmare, a woman who served the shire during its developing years and served as an example of what a member of the group could be, until her death in 1995. This is a polling award.
 

The tradition has developed in Northkeep that each Baron and Baroness have their own non-armigerous service award that is closed when they step down.
