Summary

Description
English:
Compare with 17th c. escutcheon of the Denys family above the front door of the house now known as "Dodd's Farm" in Pucklechurch, showing the arms of the Denys family of Pucklechurch, cousins of Sir Maurice Denys

Elizabethan period heraldry of the Denys family, end of north wing of Siston Court in Gloucestershire. Built by Sir Maurice Denys (1516–1563), a Member of Parliament for Malmesbury in Wiltshire and Treasurer of Calais. Listed building text[1]: "The end elevation of each wing has a 2-storey 6-light angular bay with crenellated, single transoms, carved heraldic shield in recessed panels beneath each upper window". Arms, l to r:

  • 1:Danvers (Argent, on a bend gules three martlets or winged vert) quartering Langley (Gules, two bars or in chief two buck's heads cabossed of the second);
  • 2: Quarterly of 4: 1: Denys; 2: Russell of Dyrham; 3: Corbet of Siston; 4: Gorges (modern) (a Russell heiress);
  • 3: Quarterly of 4: 1&4: Denys; 2&3: Danvers quartering Langley;
  • 4: As shield 2.
Sir Maurice Denys's grandparents were Sir Walter Denys (d. 1505) of Siston, and his second wife Agnes Danvers, 2nd daughter & co-heiress of Sir Robert Danvers (died 1467) of Epwell, Oxfordshire, Chief Justice of the Common Pleas (1450–1467). The same arrangement of Danvers quartering Langley appears on several brass escutcheons on the monument of Sir John Danvers in Dauntsey Church, Wiltshire. See Source: MacNamara, Memorials of the Danvers Family, pp.196-200. The Langley family were hereditary keepers of Whichwood Forest. Their heir was Simon Verney(d.1368) whose brother was William Verney of Byfield, father of Alice Verney, 1st. wife of John Danvers. The de Langley family held the manor of Shipton, Oxfordshire, and Richard Lee in his "Gleanings" of 1574 states that these arms of Gules, two bars or in chief two buck's heads cabossed of the second were visible in a stained glass window with a tomb under it. The buck's heads seem to be a reference to the Langley office of forester of Whichwood.
