Excerpt from A List of Coat Armour Used in Norfolk: Before the Date of the First Herald's Visition of 1563 When quoting from Dashwood's Sheriffs I have intentionally used the expression ascribed by him, for I fancy that in the cases of many early sheriffs he has assumed that they bore the arms which their descendants undoubtedly bore, and this much discounts the historical value of his book. I have thought it best to restrict my list to all coats proved to 'have been borne in the county before the first Herald's Visitation of 1563. It may be asked why I did not include the arms borne at such visitation, but I have more than a suspicion that' the heralds granted many new Coats at such visitation.
