Arms of Pollard of King's Nympton: Argent, a chevron sable between three escallops gules[1]Arms of de Way and Davie of Creedy in the parish of Sandford, Devon, frequently quartered by the Pollard family: Argent, a chevron sable between three mullets gules. The family of Davie is said by Swete[2] to have derived from the family of de Way (Latinised to de Via, of which "Davie" is said to be a corrupted form) of the manor of Way in the parish of St Giles in the Wood,[3] near Great Torrington, Devon. The family of Pollard inherited (or purchased) the manor of Way, which became their fons et origo,[4] and according to Prince, (died 1723) adopted these "de Way"/Davie arms which thenceforth they used either alone or quartered by their own arms of Argent, a chevron sable between three escallops gules.[5] The Pollard family inherited the manor of Horwood from the Cornu family and these de Way/Pollard mullet arms are visible on their own on several 17th-century Pollard monuments in Horwood Church. These arms are also shown pierced
