I would like to know the blazon of the arms of the Allchorne family of Rotherfield, Sussex. A distant ancestor John Allchorne was born 1509 in Rotherfield and had two daughters, Giliane b 1539, and Christobel b 1551 [who married my ancestor Nicholas Catt].
Apparently the Allchornes were armigorous, as a local history states 'It was in the year 1528 [?] that the first Sussex Heraldic Visitation was made to Rotherfield, by which we learn what were the arms borne by the Alchornes. The Herald went on to say: “the manner of Alchorne lyeth in Retherffeld in Sussex, and in the Church is the Auntiant Coate of Alchorne.”'
As this visit must have occurred in the lifetime of the aforesaid John Allchorne I am intrigued.
Burke's General Armoury has a blazon for Alchorn (Kent) as: Ar, a buck's head cabossed sa. and chief indented of the second. Crest - A human heart gu. ducally crowned or, betw. a pair of wings, ar.
Can anyone enlighten me as to the blazon of the arms of Allchorne of Rotherfield?
