Worsley of Deeping Gate
« on: Saturday 10 November 18 19:00 GMT (UK) »
Hello
I've been trying to find anymore information particularly the images for the Arms and crest of Worsley of Deeping Gate, Northamptonshire.
Richard Worsley Esq in 1607 is noted as 'Richard Worsley, Armiger' on his burial in 1607.
On his Will he is 'Richard Worsley Esq of Deeping Gate'
So far, Im unable to find any pictures of his arms or let alone the crest which im interested in seeing.
The only Sources Ive been able to see which list the arms is the tenious Burkes Armoury and the Visitation of Northamptonshire.

Worsley of Deeping Gate, Co Northampton.
Arms are a quarterly of 6, as per the visitation of Northamptonshire 1564 & 1618-1619
1. Ar. a chief gu with an annulet or, for difference (Worsley)
2. Azure, three wolves passant argent (Unknown)
3. Argent, four bars and a canton gules (Fairfax)
4. Or, A chief Gules, over all a bend azure (Unknown)
5. Argent, three bird-bolts gules (Bozom?)
6. Argent, three bars gules (Unknown)

Crest - 'A trunk of a tree lying fessways, couped and ragulee ar. at the dexter end an acorn branch all ppr. thereon a pheasant ar. combed and wattled or.'
The Visitation of Northamptonshire gives the last part of the crest as 'Beaked and Legged Or' rather than 'Combed and Wattled Or' which Burkes gives.
Any help appreciated.

The original arms of the Worsley family (Baronets of Hovingham Hall, Yorkshire) were a silver (argent) shield, with the top third (the chief) in red.

The annulet (a ring) in gold (or) denotes a junior branch of the family, usually a 5th son.

The main arms are depicted in this article:

The Visitation is topped by Miles Worsley Esq of Deeping Gate who married Mary Fairfax, daughter and heir of William Fairfax of Deeping Gate. It does not list the parents of Miles.
Richard Worsley was the grandson of Miles and 2nd son and heir of John Worsley Esq of Deeping Gate and Mary Bozom, Daughter of Sir Richard Bozom of Barrowby, Lincolnshire.

Richard Worsley Esq married Mary, Daughter of John Harrington Esq of Witham on the Hill, Lincolnshire.

I have seen the Worsley baronets before but cant seem to find a connection so a little more digging is required. Given the dates of Richard c1540-1607 and his father John c1500-1546, Miles would be about born c1475/1480.

Hello MrDudley,
I have attached a picture of the arms that he would have borne during his lifetime and would have passed down to his eldest son. All the other quarterings are there for reason of fashion. Either to impress ones neighbours, or to flatter ones in-laws.

google books "The baronettage of England, Arthur Collins, 1720".

Googling should deliver a searchable version - search for Worsley.
