Arms on mural
« on: Saturday 08 May 21 16:12 BST (UK) »
I've come across quartered arms of one of my ancestors on a mural but they don't seem to match what I thougth his arms were, given visitation trickings.
Nor can I find any images.

This is quoted from the 'History of Naseby' by Rev Mastin.

I'm not sure if this is all of the quartered arms on the mural, as he notes the mural is damaged slightly.

'John Shuckbrugh, Gentleman, of Naseby, Northamptonshire 1576'
'On a chevron three cinquefoils; and on a canton ermine fleur de lis, quartering, 1. Frette, 2. three owls, 3. As the first, Shuckbrugh'. Crest, out of a ducal coronet, an elephants head.

I cant work out what or who's these arms are. The crest is given as an Elephants Head but given the pedigree of John, the Crest ?would/should? be a Moor, as he descends from the Shuckburghs of Nether Shuckburgh, albeit in the junior line.

The Shuckburgh arms which are given in the visitation of Northamptonshire are 'Sable, a chevron between three mullets argent' they are quartering the Carbonell arms of three swords.

John's mother was an Acton of the Worcestershire line but he doesn't seem to have quartered those arms which are mentioned fully with quarterings given in the visitation of worcestershire but it does bear a resemblance to a line wrote under the arms in the worcester visitation for Acton which reads 'Arms Tricked - A chevron engrailed between three cinquefoils'

Sorry only just seen this post.
Re the ducal coronet with an elephants' head.
Does this help
Betham, William, Sir (1779 - 1853)
Crest Out of a ducal coronet an elephant's head
Heraldic Charges:
coronet, ducal, out of a
elephant's head

There is a picture of just the elephant's head on the website.
