DescriptionTrefusisArms.png |
English: Arms of Trefusis: Argent, a chevron between three spindles sable. The spindles are copied from those shown in the Trefusis arms in the Trefusis heraldic window, circa 1822-42, on the grand staircase in Bicton House, Devon. These are canting arms, from French fuseau,[1] from Latin fusus,[2] a spindle, with the Anglo-Saxon place name element
"Tre-" or "Tref-"("hamlet, farmstead, estate") which survives in Wales and the Southwest of England (almost exclusively in Cornwall).[3] The manor of Trefusis was thus originally held before the Norman Conquest of 1066 by an Anglo-Saxon named "Fusis" or "Usis" or similar, thus "Farmstead of Fusis" |
