Families covered: Blodwell (Bladwell) of Great Thurlow, Bladwell of London, Bladwell of Swannington
| Visitation (Suffolk, 1561) identified the arms of the following family, in a quarterly of six (with Notbeam, Peche, Hinckley & Caldebeck), as "Per pale Argent and Gules a lion rampant Sable". Metcalfe's Visitation reports that "The name is clearly not Bladwell, and is derived from Blodwell in the parish of Llanyblodwell near Oswestry, co. Salop." Nevertheless, Metcalfe provides a continuation which spells the name as Bladwell. | |||||||||||||||
