This is the shield of BILLINGSLEY quartering Billingsley (ancient) and HARLOW. Records surviving from 1480 show how five successive landowners, all named Roger, of a family who had acquired their name from a Shropshire village named Billingsley, used a neatly contrived shield with five stars on a cross between four lions. Then an adventurous spirit migrated to Canterbury and his descendants on to London. By 1568 a William Billingshurst had made his mark as a Freeman and Haberdasher of the City and still used the same family shield. When this William’s son, Sir Henry, was elected Lord Mayor in 1596 he aspired to a simple more dignified shield, indeed one with regal overtones. Sir Henry was granted a new coat of arms bearing a single gold fleur-de-lis on a red field with a gold corner. He relegated his age-old family shield into a subsidiary position and later generations have evidently used the two together ever since. . From the collection of Laurence W. Hodson (1863-1933) and descendants, thence by descent.
