Families covered: Castell (de Castello or Castle) of Horningtoft, Castell of Raveningham
Carthew (p183), which starts with the first John mentioned in the lower section (m. Elizabeth Carvile), identifies the arms of this family as "Argent, three castles triple turreted gules". Note that the family in the first section of Castle3 shows the same arms but indicates that that "came from Flanders to Norwich (in) 1567". Given the "doubtful" reference refered to just above the lower section below, it would perhaps be wise to accept the possibility that the following upper section may not be properly connected to the lower section! |
