English: Arms of Davie of Creedy in the parish of Sandford, Devon:
Argent, a chevron sable between three mullets gules. The family of Davie is said by Swete (
Gray, Todd & Rowe, Margery (Eds.), Travels in Georgian Devon: The Illustrated Journals of The Reverend
John Swete, 1789-1800, 4 vols., Tiverton, 1999, Vol.3, p.120) 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, (sometimes stated incorrectly to be in the parish of Horwood, 3 miles north-east of Bideford (i.e. Swete, vol.3, p.98) near Great Torrington, Devon. The family of Pollard inherited (or purchased) the manor of Way (
Hoskins, W.G., A New Survey of England: Devon, London, 1959 (first published 1954), p.470) and 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.(
Prince, John, (1643–1723) The Worthies of Devon, 1810 edition, p.783) 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.
