| notes | It's interesting to note that in Burke's General Amory, the wheat/barley ears on the flaunches are marked as or (and not leaved gules), yet Burke's states that there are also two bars humetté. It is hard to believe that these would have been omitted in Collins's the early 18th century version, yet it is parculiar that the leaves would match the field (making it red on red). |
| escutcheon | Gules, a wheat ear erect, leaves or, between two flaunches of the same, each charged with a wheat ear slipt or, leaves gules. |
| crest | On a Wreath two naked Arms bent, supporting a garb or, banded or and gules proper |

There have been two baronetcies created for persons with the surname Frere, one in the Baronetage of England and one in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. Both creations are extinct.
The Frere Baronetcy, of Water Eaton in the County of Oxford, was created in the Baronetage of England on 22 July 1620 for Edward Frere. The title became extinct on his death in 1629.
The Frere Baronetcy, of Wimbledon in the County of Surrey, was created in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom on 24 May 1876 for the colonial administrator Sir Henry Bartle Frere. The title became extinct on the death of the second Baronet in 1933. The first Baronet was the grandson of John Frere, the great-nephew of Ellenor Fenn and the nephew of John Hookham Frere.
