History of the
Bartlett
Coat-of-Arms
The Barttelots of Stopham
fought in many wars for the Crown. The battle of Crecey in
1348, Poictiers in 1356 and Agincourt in 1415 to name a few.
After the last mentioned battle, John Barttelot, commander
of the Sussex Troops, took the Castle of Fontenoy in France
for which Edward, the Black Prince, granted the Castle as a
crest of the Barttelot Coat-of-Arms. In the 16th century the
Swan Crest was added to commemorate the right to keep Swans
upon the River Arun. a right started by William the
Conqueror and granted to very few others.

| There have
been eight families combined thru the years The families make up
eight quarterings and were granted by William Segar. Garter King
of Arms on Oct. 27. 1616 in the 14th year of King James. These
quart- terings being for Barttelot, Stopham, Lewknor, Dovely.
Tregor, Cayrnoys, Walton and Syheston. Three more quarterings
were added in 1876 for Smith, Musgrave and Boldero. To complete
the picture, the family motto being "Mature" meaning "In good
time ." |

The common livery
of the family is Dark blue coat with black and yellow striped
waistcoat, black trousers and brass buttons. Dress Livery: Blue
coat, pale yellow cashmere waistcoat, black plush breeches, gold
garters and black silk stockings.
Now all along you probably thought you had the proper
items in your wardrobe. I don't think there will be a run on
cashmere waistcoats or plush breeches in near future however
