Many other “arms” are borrowed from the names of illustrious persons, though there is some uncertainty about several in the subjoined list. The following will be at once seen to be named after well-known Essex landowners: such are, the DUCANE ARMS at Braxted, the LENNARD ARMS at Aveley, the NEVILLE ARMS at Audley End, the RAYLEIGH ARMS at Terling, the TOWER ARMS at South Weald, the WAKE ARMS at Waltham Abbey (which is over forty years old), the WILKES ARMS at Wenden Lofts, and the WESTERN ARMS at Rivenhall, which figured as the LORD WESTERN ARMS forty years ago, when there was also a PETRE’S ARMS at Ingatestone. Other arms of this class, but not necessarily connected with the county, are the CAMDEN ARMS at Forest Gate, the COWLEY ARMS at Leytonstone, the HEADLEY ARMS at Great Warley, the HENLEY ARMS at North Woolwich, the LAURIE ARMS at Romford, the MANBY ARMS and the WADDINGTON ARMS at Stratford, the MILTON ARMS at Southend, the SPENCERS’ ARMS at Hornchurch, and the DE BEAUVOIRS’ ARMS at Downham, together with the PETO ARMS, the SIDNEY ARMS, the SUTTON ARMS, and two NAPIER’S ARMS. Sixty years ago there was a *THEOBALD’S ARMS at Grays. The DE BEAUVOIRS’ ARMS is at least forty years old. It seems to be locally known as “the BEAVERS.” Its sign is a pictorial one with the arms duly displayed. Larwood and Hotten describe the GENERAL’S ARMS at Little Baddow as a “new-fangled, unmeaning sign,” through knowing nothing of its local significance. It appears that the house belongs to Lord Rayleigh, and the arms of the Strutt family--crest, motto, and all--are correctly depicted upon the sign-board. It takes its name from Major-General William Goodday Strutt, brother of the first Baron. After seeing much active service, in which he lost a leg and received many wounds, he was appointed Governor of Quebec, and died February 5, 1848.
