Description
English: One of several brass escutcheons on the tomb of Sir John Danvers in Dauntsey Church, Wiltshire. The same arms appear sculpted on the wings of Siston Court, Gloucestershire. The arms are Danvers quartering Langley: Quarterly 1st & 4th: Argent, on a bend gules 3 martlets or winged vert (Danvers); 2nd & 3rd: Gules, 2 bars or in chief 2 buck's heads cabossed of the 2nd (Langley). Source: MacNamara, Memorials of the Danvers Family, pp.196-200[1]. The Langley family were hereditary keepers of Whichwood Forest. Their heir was Simon Verney(d.1368)whose brother was William Verney of Byfield, father of Alice Verney, 1st. wife of John Danvers. The de Langley family held the manor of Shipton, Oxfordshire, and Richard Lee in his "Gleanings" of 1574 states that these arms of Gules, 2 bars or in chief 2 buck's heads cabossed of the 2nd were visible in a stained glass window with a tomb under it. The buck's heads seem to be a reference to the Langley office of forester of Whichwood.
