Families covered: Clovile of Clovile's Hall, Clovile of Copfauld (Copfold) Hall, Clovile of West Haningfield

                               
(1) It seems that this family name was spelt in various ways including Clovile, Cloville, Clovyle, Clovill, Clonvile, Clouvile, Clouvill & Clouvyll. It appears also that it was sometimes confused with Colvile. Some of these spellings are given by Visitation (Essex, 1558, 'Clovile, Convile, Colvile') which is ignored below as it was clearly superseded by Visitation (1612). To keep things simple, we keep below to spelling the name 'Colvile' but note that cross-references to this family may show otherwise.
(2) The arms given by Visitation (Essex, 1612) for this family are "Argent, two chevrons sable, each charged with five nails or", firstly quartered with Tanfield, Lovell & Bardfield and secondly quartered with Auger/Aucher & Ryvett/Trevett.
