Arms of Drury of Hawstead, Suffolk (junior branch): Argent, on a chief vert a cross tau between two mullets pierced or (Burke, Sir Bernard, The General Armory, London, 1884, p.302 "Drury of Thurston Rougham in Suffolk" (sic)). In fact the Tau Cross was not adopted by the Rougham branch (the senior branch) but by the junior Hawstead branch), see below). Tau crossThe Tau Cross ( a symbol of Saint Anthony) was added to the Drury arms by a junior branch, albeit a prominent and numerous branch, of the family, namely by Nicholas Drury II (d.1456) of Saxham, who married Joan Heath. He was the second son of Sir Nicholas Drury I of Thurston, and the younger brother of Sir Roger Drury (d.1420) of Thurston and Rougham, MP for Suffolk, who married Margery Naunton (d.1405), da. and h. of Sir Thomas Naunton of Rougham (Brasses in Rougham Church). The descendants of Nicholas Drury II (d.1456) of Saxham, who thus also bore the Tau Cross were seated at Hawstead, Hedgerley, Riddlesworth, Bestorpe, Ickworth, Linsted, etc, and included the Drury Baronets (cr.1627). Thus the senior branch, seated at Rougham, did not adopt the Tau Cross. There is some confusion in the sources between Nicholas Drury I and his son Nicholas Drury II, with the Duchess of Cleveland stating that the Tau Cross was adopted by Nicholas Drury I, whom she says visited the Holy Land and fought under John of Gaunt (1340-1399) whilst Nicholas Drury II (d.1456), said by Blomfield to have added the Tau Cross, died 116 years after the birth of John of Gaunt and was thus too young to have fought under him.
