LOCAL HERALDRY. 
343 
Henry Darell, of Trewoman; her will was proved in London, 
9 March, 1762; this Henry Darell left no issue. This marriage 
of Darell and Symkin accounts for shield number 24. 
2. The figures on this shield are not heraldic, but something 
like a merchant's mark ; they resemble a classic bow and arrow 
within a wavy line. 
3. Arg. two bars sa., and in chief a greyhound courant of the 
second, for Palmer. Joseph Palmer, late of Plymouth, gentleman, 
gave £500, and 40 shillings per annum after the death of his 
widow. The next coat, 4 (az. a chev. betw. three crosses pattee), 
has to be left unidentified. There does not appear to be any local 
connection to account for the erection of the shield that follows, 5 ; 
it is that of the ancient Devonshire family of Chichester — chequey 
or and gu. a chief vaire. No. 6, the arms of the town, the saltire 
and castles. 
7. Gu. a bend fusily erm. This is the well-known coat of 
Hele, at one time a widespread and important family in the 
county. A tablet records that in 1707 the Eight Hon. the Earl 
of Stamford and the Right Hon. Mary, Countess of Stamford, 
and Sir John Hobart, Bart., consented to the appropriation of 
several large sums of money, and half the fines of divers estates, 
with which Sir John Maynard and Mr. Elizeus Stert were en- 
trusted by Elize Hele, Esq., to the use of this charity. The last is 
appropriately followed by, 8, arg. a chev. gu. betw. three sinister 
hands erased of the second, for Maynard, and 9, arg. a saltire gu. 
betw. four crosses pattee sa., for Stert. The authority for the 
former coat is very doubtful ; the chevron should be omitted, though 
it is used by some branches of the family ; but in those cases it is 
blue, and the hands should be couped, not erased. The family of 
Stert was at one time seated in a fair position in the neighbourhood 
of Plymstock and Brixton. In the parish church of the former 
there was, before its restoration, a hatchment to one of the family ; 
while in the registers of Brixton are numerous entries relating to 
the family, among them Elize, sister of Walter Stert, gentleman, 
and Mrs. Elizabeth, his wife, baptized 27th May, 1688, and Ellise 
Stert, gentleman, buried 27th December, 1720. Their arms may 
also be seen painted on a panel in the church of St. Andrew, Ply- 
mouth. 
10 Arg. a chev. betw. three oak leaves vert., is the well-known 
coat of Trelawny, the oak leaves said to have been granted in the
