Note for: John De Tilston, approx. 1360 - approx. 1430 Index

Individual Note:
John was the first member of the Tilston family to have acoat of arms attributed to him. As given in GeorgeOrmerod's "A History of Cheshire", they are described asfollows,

Arms: Azure, a bend cotised or, between two garbs of the
second.
Crest: A bear's head argent, issuing from a mural crowngules
(argent = silver, gules = green)

The term 'mural' crown signifies a crown in the form of an
embattled wall. It is widely used in civic heraldry butalso in the arms of distinguished soldiers. It is possiblethat John de Tilston fought with the King, Richard II, whowas also Earl of Chester. There were many conflicts duringthe fourteenth century, against the French and the Irish,when many Cheshire men had outstanding military careers andwere rewarded by the King in lesser or greater waysdepending upon their standing and their bravery. There istherefore a good chance that John was one of these men, ina period when squires and their knights were obliged totake up arms for their Earl and King when the call came.
The armorial bearings were passed down through subsequentgenerations and during the Herald's Visitation of Cheshirein 1580 were confirmed to Ralph Tilston, who was the son ofPeter Tilston of Tilston and had purchased one half of themanor of Huxley from his distant relative, Ralph de Huxley.It would have been necessary for him to demonstrate to theHerald his right to bear the arms, by proving his line ofdescent from the original bearer, i.e. John de Tilston. Arecord of this proof of descent was made by the Herald andhas survived to this day. It is contained in the series ofvolumes published by the Harleian Society. I have in turnused that published version of part of the Tilston pedigreein my own compilation.
The coat of arms granted to Ralph Tilston differ only in aminor way to those attributed to John de Tilston, in thecolours of the crest. The silver bear's head and greencrown was changed to "Out of a mural coronet a bear's headall proper". A coronet is a small crown and 'all proper'means all in their natural colours, i.e a brown bear's headand a stone coloured embattled wall. These arms werecarried through until the Tilston armorial dynasty endedwith the death in 1663 of Mary Tilston, widow of JohnTilston of Lower Huxley Hall.
