I wonder if some erudite person could tell me if the Beauchamps, a large and scattered family of Warks and elsewhere in the mid to late 1400s ever used a squirrel (or squirrels) in their coats of arms - apart from the Bear and Ragged Staff. From my readings of the Wars of the Roses I learn that the Beauchamp/Neville families once had Erdington Manor which, in the 17th or 18th Cents, came into the hands of the famous Holt Family who, in turn, (it is said) "adopted" the Beauchamp squirrel,or, holding a hazel branch complete with leaves and nut. I cannot find such a reference - so is it "fact or fiction?"
