Summary
[edit]
| Description | Arms of Legh of Lyme Park, Cheshire: Gules, a cross engrailed argent. These were originally the arms of de Norley, adopted by Legh following the marriage of Robert de Legh to Matilda de Norley, a daughter and co-heiress of Adam de Norley by his wife Margeria de Waleton, daughter and heiress of John son of Warin de Waleton/Walton in Leyton Hundred, Lancashire. Matilda's sister and co-heiress was Katherine de Norley, wife of William de Radcliffe. These two families (Legh and Radcliffe) thenceforth adopted or quartered the arms of de Norley and of Waleton (Argent, a mullet pierced sable). The arms of Waleton were later (in the reign of King Henry VII) challenged by the Assheton family, which bore the same arms. (Source: Langton, William, ed. (1882).
