This John Shallcross thus never succeeded to the family 

 estate, and desired to be buried elsewhere than among his 

 ancestors at Taxal. There does not appear tO' be any memorial 

 within Leek Church, and the registers do not go back further 

 than 1637. His only son, 



Richard ShALCROSS (XIV.), of Shallcross, was under 

 age in 1592, and about 33 years old on succeeding, at his grand- 

 father's death, to the family estate. He was entitled to quarter 

 the arms of Walker of Bramshall with his paternal saltire — 

 viz., Argent, on a chevron ringed at the poitii, between three 

 crescents sable, two plates. It is thus depicted in the 

 Widdrington Roll ; but it is noticeable that in the Kynnersley 

 pedigree, 1648, which has been communicated by Rev. 

 G. A. Sneyd, who has a portrait of Isabel Kinnersley, sister 

 of Prue Shalcross, in his possession, the impaled arms are :— 

 Argent, on a chevron sable between three pellets, as many 

 crescents of the field. Richard Shallcross attended the Heralds 

 (St. George) in i6ii,§ and his arms are drawn,]! the tinctures 

 being now gules and or, formerly gules and argent. 



Francis Bradshaw ( ? senior, of Eyam) writes from the house 

 of his relative at Shalcross in 16 14 to Sir George Manners, the 

 father of the eighth Earl of Rutland, at Haddon, returning him 

 " the Council's letter and orders concerning the eating of flesh 

 meat, and a warrant to the High Constable for effectuating the 

 same." A poor man " who died at Shallcross Hall " was buried 

 at Chapel-en-le-Frith, September 2nd, 1622. Richard 



* Grandfather of the wife of J. S. (XV.).
