Good mowing Mandy,

Monogram does appear to read HEA, let's see it we can identify this crest.

So far the University of Toronto Libraries British Amorial Bindings describes it as:

Creast a panache of five ostrich feathers unidentified. The closest other crest was for Borough, Richard, Sir, 1st Baronet (1756-1837). Three roundrels surmounted by five ostrich feathers.

It's a beginning, hopefully a more knowledgable member can take us further.
