LOCAL HERALDRY.

1668. Jan. 6th. Margaret, daughter of Mr. John and Mrs. 
Dorothy Lanyon, baptized. Vide Charles' Church Par. Reg. 
In 27, gu. on a chev. arg. three talbots pass, sa., we have the 
arms of a family that for several generations nourished in the town. 
John Martin was Mayor in 1602-3, and others of this family held 
the same office. Their arras may be just traced on an almost 
obliterated ledger-stone in St. Andrew's Church. The last male of 
one line of this family was buried at Shaugh Prior with a monu- 
ment in the church, on which are the above arms. He died at 
Coldstone, in that parish, 20th April, 1758, aged seventy-four 
years, the monument being erected by Mrs. Joane Cole and Mrs. 
Jane Tozer, his sole executrixes. 
28. Or, a chev. az., Bastard. The Bastards are an old Devon- 
shire family, and became seated at Kitley through marrying the 
heiress of Pollexfen, which seems their only claim to a place here. 
They are the owners of the rectorial tithes of Plymouth, and 
therefore lay rectors of St. Andrew. 
29. The next coat that we come to shows the painter was not 
quite up to the mark in heraldry. It gives quarterly sa. and arg. 
four lions ramp, counter changed. This is probably intended for 
Byng, and in that case should only have one lion ; viz., quarterly 
sa. and arg., in the first quarter a lion ramp, of the second. 
Admiral Sir George Byng was M.P. for Plymouth 1705-20. Being 
raised to the peerage for his naval services, in 1721, as Viscount 
Torrington, his eldest son, the Hon. Patee Byng, became the repre- 
sentative in place of his father. He succeeded his father, as second 
viscount, in 1733, his place as member for this town having been 
already taken by his brother, the Hon. Robert Byng, third son of 
the first viscount. Sir George Byng, when M.P. for Plymouth, 
gave <£50 to this charity. 
It is difficult again to account for shield 30, az. betw. two 
bendlets three eagles displ. or, all inter six crosses crosslet fitchee of 
the second. They are the arms of Mcholls, of Islip Willen, co. 
Bucks, and are quite different to those of any local family of that 
name. 
31. Gu. a lion ramp, within an orle of trefoils arg., Pengelly 
of Sortridge, in Whitchurch, co. Devon. Francis Pengelly, of 
Plymouth, Esq., gave thirty guineas to this hospital. 
32. Chequey or and az. a chief arg., Warren. Mr. William 
Warren gave £20.
