I have followed this discussion of Herrington Hall with interest as it has a connection to our family, I believe. This is the information that I have. In 1556 William PUNSHON of Chester le Street acquired the manor of West Herrington. This may be the same William PUNSHON who is mentioned in Surtees History of Co Durham as having a coat of arms The arms were granted to William PUNSHON, 6 September 1575, by William Flower, Norroy The description: Azure, a fesse embattled inter three Sheeps' heads erased argent the translation I have " bright blue, a third of the shape blocked off with battlement shaped line three sheeps heads sort of torn off and silver" William PUNSHON [estimated birth about 1520] married Sibilla Birtfeilde d. of Thomas Birtfeilde of CLS [Surtees] in about 1550 I'd love to hear from anyone who might have more information Heather
