ARMS.--_Or, two bars azure; a chief quarterly azure and gules, on the_ 1_st and_ 4_th two fleurs-de-lis, on the_ 2_nd and_ 3_rd a leopard of England of the first_; the chief being an augmentation granted by Henry VIII. The ancient arms, no doubt founded on those of the Muschamp family, were, _Or, two bars azure, a chief gules_. See the Rolls of the reign of Edward II. and Richard III. Present Representative, Charles Cecil John Manners, sixth Duke of Rutland. ALINGTON OF SWINHOPE. [Illustration] This is a branch of the extinct family of the Lords Alington, of Horseheath, in Cambridgeshire, who were originally of Alington, in the same county, soon after the Conquest. The family descend from a younger son of Sir Giles Alington, and were seated at Swinhope in the reign of Queen Elizabeth. See Clutterbuck's History of Hertfordshire, ii. 542; and Collectanea Topog. et Genealog. iv. 33-53, and note 2, p. 39. For Horseheath, see Topographer, ii. 374. ARMS.--_Sable, a bend engrailed between six billets argent_. Present Representative, George Marmaduke Alington, Esq. +Gentle.+ THOROLD OF MARSTON, BARONET 1642. [Illustration] It has been supposed, but without any evidence or authority, that this family is descended from Thorold, Sheriff of Lincolnshire in 1052, and that consequently it may claim Saxon origin. There is however no doubt that this is a family of very great antiquity, and seated at Marston as early as the reign of Henry I. See Wotton's Baronetage, ii. 338, and iv. 250. ARMS.--_Sable, three goats salient argent_. Present Representative, Sir John Charles Thorold, 11th Baronet. LANGTON OF LANGTON. [Illustration] "Langton, Sir," exclaimed Dr. Johnson, alluding to his friend Bennet Langton of Langton, at that time the accomplished head of this very ancient family, "has a grant of free warren from Henry the Second, and Cardinal Stephen Langton in King John's reign was of this family." The name is derived from Langton-by-Spilsby in Lincolnshire, a manor which has remained to the present day the inheritance of this house, who are descended in the female line from the Massingberds of Sutterton in this county. Younger branch. The Langton-Massingberds of Gunby. See Allen's History of the County of Lincoln, ii. 175; and Boswell's Life of Johnson, ed. 1836, i. 294.
