Devon Notes and Queries* 221 his Armory ; or they may be the arms of Sir Thomas Rosceline, 'whose daughter and heiress Joan married John Willoughby. John, 3rd Lord Willoughby de Eresby, married Cicely, daughter of Robert de Ufford, Earl of Suffolk, and their son Robert inherited as one of the heirs of his uncle, William de Ufford, Earl of Suffolk ; possibly some of the five quarters following were brought in by that marriage. Sir Thomas, the third son of the last-named Robert, married Elizabeth, the daughter and heiress of John Neville, Lord Latimer, and their son. Sir John, married Joan Welby, an heiress, and again their son. Sir John, married Anne, daughter and co-heiress of Sir Edmund Cheney of Broke, in the County of Wilts ; and it was from the younger son, William of the last-named, that the Willoughbys of Ley Hill were descended.

The road from it led only to Collipriest House : see Blackmore's map of Tiverton, dated 1777, now hanging in the Town Hall. This bridge, of which I have a plan, was washed away in the flood of 1809. There was no riverside road or walk before the present carriage drive was made and the lodge gates erected at the beginning of the last century by the owner of Collipriest. There was no law suit about the lodge gates or road, and by an agreement dated January 23rd, 1794) and a previous award
