STONE COAT OF ARMS (See in photos)

STONE was a locational name 'the dweller by the stone or rock' some remarkable sign or landmark,  of English origin. Local names usually denoted where a man held his land, and indicated where he  actually lived. Early records of the name mention STANE (without surname) who was listed as a  tenant in the Domesday Book of 1086. The name appears as STANAS (without surname) in the year  1145, County Oxford. Warin de la Stane of the County of Devon in 1273. Johannes del Stone was  mentioned in the Yorkshire Poll Tax of 1379. John Francis Stone was baptised at St. James's  Church, Clerkenwell, London in 1609. The names introduced into Britain by the Normans during and  in the wake of the Invasion of 1066, are nearly all territorial in origin. The followers of  William the Conqueror were a pretty mixed lot, and while some of them brought the names of their  castles and villages in Normandy with them, many were adventurers of different nationalities  attached to William's standard by the hope of plunder, and possessing no family or territorial  names of their own. Those of them who acquired lands in England were called by their manors, while  others took the name of the offices they held or the military titles given to them, and sometimes,  a younger son of a Norman landowner, on receiving a grant of land in his new home dropped his  paternal name and adopted that of his newly acquired property. An eminent member of the name was  Nicholas Stone (1586-1647) the English mason and architect. He was master mason to James VI. and  Charles I. He carried out the designs of Inigo Jones and completed the tombs of Sir Thomas Bodley  in Oxford and John Donne in St. Paul's Cathedral. Jerome Stone, 1727-1756, schoolmaster in  Dunkeld, 'was the real discoverer to modern knowledge of the ancient Ossianic ballads'. The  associated arms are recorded in Burkes General Armory. Ulster King of Arms in 1884. Registered at  County Lancashire. The lion depicted in the arms is the noblest of all wild beasts which is made  to be the emblem of strength and valour, and is on that account the most frequently borne in Coat- Armour.
