Families covered: Wooderoff of Hope, Woodrooffe of London

                               
MGH identifies the arms of the later family as "Argent, a chevron between three crosses formées fitchées gules" which has similarities to that of the family of Woodrove (Woodroffe or Woodruffe) of Woolley shown on Woodrove01. 'Pedigree of Wooderoff of Hope' shows arms that could well be the same.
