The Noble and Gentle Men of England / or, notes touching the arms and descents of the ancient knightly and gentle houses of England, arranged in their respective counties.

by Evelyn Philip Shirley

Arms.—Gules, on a bend engrailed argent, between two cinquefoils or, three leopard's faces vert. The more ancient coat, given in King's Vale Royal, appears to have been, Sable, three chargers or dishes argent.

Present Representative, Thomas Aldersey, Esq.

Baskervyle, (called Glegg,) of Old Withington.

Ormerod traces this family to Sir John Baskervyle, grantee of a moiety of Old Withington from Robert de Camvyle in 1266, and that estate has ever since remained in the family. In 1758 John Baskervyle, Esq., the representative of the house of Old Withington, having married the heiress of Glegg of Gayton, in this county, assumed that name in lieu of his own.

See Ormerod, iii. 355; and for Glegg, ib. ii. 285.

Arms.—Argent, a chevron gules between three hurts. This coat, the chevron charged with three fleurs-de-lis or, was borne by "Monsire de Baskervile;" see Sir Harris Nicolas's Roll of Arms temp. E. III.

Present Representative, John Baskervyle Glegg, Esq.

Brooke of Norton, Baronet 1662.
