The youngest son, he left a considerable estate to his nephew, Ralph Burrell. Written on the memorial: Near this place lies Gerard Burrell DD, Vicar of this church, Archdeacon and residentiary of Chichester, who settled at Cuckfield 1446 and died 17/04/1508. He was youngest son of Sir John Burrell of Devonshire, who attended Henry V to France inthe year 1415 with 1 ship, 20 Men at Arms, and 40 Archers. His Grandfather, Ralph Burrell, descended from an ancient family in Northumberland, married Sermonda, daughter and coheir of Sir Walter Woodland of Devon. The College of Arms, since 1634, have accepted the brass of The Rev.'s coat of arms as evidence of the family's right to bear them. "PER FLUCTUS AD ORAM", "Through waves to the shore". |
