It was updated on 01.09.22 but was not promoted into the main database until after a review on 09.03.24 led to acceptance that there was little chance of our making further improvement to it in the near future and that it was 'good enough' to be promoted into the main database.]
| (1) A web site on Hardwick Hall reports that the Hardwick family owned land there from the 13th century. We have seen, on a web site, that the coat of arms of the Hardwicks (Herdwicks) of Lindley was a differenced version of that of the Hardwicks of Hardwick Hall, indicating that its founder was a younger son of the family of Hardwick Hall. 'History and Antiquities of the County of Leicester' (John Nichols, vol 4, part 2, 1811, 'Pedigree of Rodvile and Herdwicke of Lindley', p643), which provides the continuation for the Herdwickes (Hardwicks) of Lindley, starts with William, son of John de Herdwick of Herdwick in Warwickshire. We speculate that that John de Hardwick (Herdwick) was the ancestor of the later Harwicks of Hardwick Hall but note that John's Hardwick is reported to have been in Warwickshire whereas the later Hardwicks of Hardwick Hall were in Derbyshire. (2) Visitation identifies the arms of this famiy as " Argent, a saltire engrailed Azure , on a chief of the second three cinquefoils pierced of the first". |
