Summary

Description
English: Arms of Kirkham of Blagdon in the parish of Paignton, Devon, of six quarters, 16th century sculpted escutcheon in the Kirkham Chantry of St John's Church, Paignton. Quarters:
  • 1:Kirkham (Argent, three lions rampant gules a bordure engrailed sable)
  • 2:Denys of Orleigh Azure, three Danish battle axes erect or, for Agatha le Deneis, wife of Sir Nicholas Kirkham and one of the two sisters and co-heiresses of Sir Robert le Deneis (d. tempore King Edward I (1272-1307)) of Blagdon, Coleton Clavill, Pancras Week, etc. (Pole, Sir William (d.1635), Collections Towards a Description of the County of Devon, Sir John-William de la Pole (ed.), London, 1791, p.362; Risdon, Tristram (d.1640), Survey of Devon, 1811 edition, London, 1811, with 1810 Additions, p.150).
  • 3: Scobhull (Argent, three fleurs-de-lys gules a label of three points azure (Pole, pp.501, 289)), for Elizabeth Scobhull, wife of Robert Kirkham (d.1443) and daughter and heiress of Sir Robert Scobhull (alias Scobhill, Scobhul, Scobbahull, etc) (Vivian, p.516) of Scobhull in the parish of South Pool near Kingsbridge, Devon (Prince, p.554; Pole, p.289).
  • 4:Waye of Marsh (Gules, a chevron or between three lucies hauriant argent) (Vivian, Lt.Col. J.L., (Ed.) The Visitations of the County of Devon: Comprising the Heralds' Visitations of 1531, 1564 & 1620, Exeter, 1895, p.773) Waye. Pole, p.506, who blazons the arms as Gules, a chevron between three fishes naiant argent, thus with chevron argent not or and with the unnamed fish naiant not hauriant. These arms of Waye of Marsh are however sculpted (without tinctures) quartered by Kirkham of Blagdon in the 16th century Kirkham Chantry of Paignton Church, and show a chevron with fish hauriant, as per Vivian's blazon. Nicholas Kirkham (d.1516) of Blagdon married Jane Waye, daughter and heiress of Robert Waye of Marsh (Vivian, p.516, pedigree of Kirkham) in the parish of Newton St Cyres (Prince, John, (1643–1723) The Worthies of Devon, 1810 edition, London, p.554). These are similar to the arms displayed in Exeter Guildhall, Devon, of "John Waye, Sheriff (of Exeter) 1541", shown as Gules, three lucies hauriant in fess argent. They should be distinguished from the completely different arms of Way of St Giles-in-the-Wood, near Great Torrington in Devon, often called "de Via" (i.e. from the way) arms, later apparently adopted by the Pollard family of Way and also by the Davie family (Davy baronets) of Creedy, Devon, which claim their original surname as de Via.
  • 5:Ferrers (Argent, on a bend sable three horseshoes argent) for Margaret Ferrers, wife of Thomas Kirkham (d.1551/2) and daughter and heiress of Richard Ferrers by his wife Jane Malherbe, daughter and heiress of Sir John Malherbe.
  • 6:Malherbe (Or, a chevron gules between three nettle leaves erect proper (Pole, p.492)), canting arms (mal herbe = bad grass, weed) a Ferrers heiress, see quarter 5.
