Falcons
3/3 During the 1662-4 Visitation of Nottinghamshire by William Dugdale, Norroy, JOHN STORY
of Kneeton was summoned to justify his title of "Gentleman", but he disclaimed that title at Nottingham
assizes, which meant he avoided certain duties which gentlemen had to perform, and so he was not
entitled to a coat of arms. However his son must have
regretted that because on 29 Dec. 1676 Arms were granted by Norroy King of Arms to
JOHN STORY (1623-1680) of Kneveton (son of the above John) : Per tess indented argent and sable
three falcons counterchanged. Crest: On a wreath of laurel a black faicon1 all proper.
