LASCELLES OF HAREWOOD; EARL OF HAREWOOD 1812 BARON 1796.
[Illustration] A family of ancient standing in this county,
descended from John de Lascelles, of Hinderskelfe, now called Castle
Howard, in the wapentake of Bulmer, in the North riding, living in
the ninth year of Edward II. For seven generations immediately
following they were called "_Lascelles alias Jackson_." About the
reign of Henry VI. they removed to Gawthorpe, also in the North
riding, and afterwards to Stank and Northallerton; Harewood was
purchased about 1721.
See Whitaker's Leeds, vol. i. p. 169; and Brydges's Collins, vol.
viii. p. 508.
ARMS.--_Sable, a cross flory within a border or_. This coat, without
the border, was borne by Monsieur Lascelles de Worthorpe, as appears
by the Roll of the reign of Edward III. Monsieur Rafe de Lascelles
bore at the same period, Argent, three chaplets of roses _vermaux,_
with a border engrailed sable.
Present Representative, Henry Thynne Lascelles, fourth Earl of
Harewood.
WOMBWELL OF WOMBWELL, BARONET 1778.
[Illustration] There was a family who took the local name of
Wombwell from that manor in the thirteenth century, but this cannot
with certainty be connected with it. The pedigree therefore
commences with Hugh Wombwell of Wombwell, son of Henry Lowell de
Wombwell, living in the reign of Edward III. The elder branch of
this family became extinct in the male line on the death of William
Wombwell of Wombwell, Esq. in 1733. Part of the estate from whence
the name is derived belongs to the present family, who represent a
junior line, descended from George Wombwell, of Leeds, who died in
1682, by purchase of the coheirs.
See Hunter's South Yorkshire, vol. ii. p. 124.
ARMS.--_Gules, a bend between six unicorn's heads cooped argent_;
and so borne in the sixth of Henry IV.
Present Representative, Sir George Orby Wombwell, 4th Baronet.
PALMES OF NABURN.
[Illustration] There appears no reason to doubt the antiquity of
this family, said to be descended from Manfred Palmes, living in the
reign of Stephen, and seated at Naburn since the year 1226, by a
match with the heiress of Watterville.
See Burke's Landed Gentry.
ARMS.--_Gules, three fleurs-de-lis argent, a chief vaire_.
Present Representative, the Rev, William Lindsay Palmes.
ROUNDELL OF SCREVEN.
[Illustration] On the authority of Whitaker we learn that Screven
has been in this family since the early part of the fifteenth
century; the first recorded ancestor being John Roundell, of
Screven, living in the third of Henry VI.
See Whitaker's Craven, ed. 1812, p. 76.
ARMS.--_Or, a fess gules between three olive-branches vert_.
Present Representative, the Rev. Danson Richardson Roundell.
