into the Exchequer, called White Hart Silver. For Ball's Farm 

 the sum of one shilling and sixpence was paid in 1806. The 

 money was collected by the Lord of the Hundred of Buckland 

 Newton. The posterity of Sir John de la Lynde ever after gave for 

 their arms White Hart's Heads on a red shield. Their seat was 

 formerly at Hartley, under High Stoy, and they also owned 

 Hermitage. The story is represented on old encaustic tiles in the 

 chantry of Glanvilles Wootton Church. According to local 

 tradition, Sir John found the White Hart at Buckshaw, drove 

 him through Hartleaze, in Newland, to Hart's-foot Lane, where 

 he got a bit worried. If you said " Did ye see the splay foot of 

 him going up over the plusher " the people of these parts used 

 to get quite " shirty." 



According to local tradition there was also a battle fought in 

 Glanvilles Wootton, probably in the turbulent times of King 

 John and his barons. In it Henry de Glanville, whose effigy is 

 in the chantry of the church, was killed, and was found under an 

 oak in Splitmead, now cut down, with a dog at his feet.
